Genome variation of 5 clinical adenovirus type 2 isolates determined by restriction enzyme digestion analysis. Brief report

Prolonged excretion of an identical cytomegalovirus strain by two siblings and the intermittent isolation of an adenovirus from the urine of one of them

Restriction endonucleases were used to show the excretion of an identical strain of cytomegalovirus (CMV) by two brothers over a 2 1/2-yr period. The same enzymes were used to show that the younger brother, case report, excreted an adenovirus over at least a 3-mo period. We are unable to determine the contribution of each virus to this child's clinical picture; however, this is the first report of a prolonged excretion of an adenovirus associated with CMV excretion in an immunocompetent host.
