An outbreak of adenovirus type 7k in a children's home. Amer J Epidem 93: 399–402, 1971.—An outbreak of adenovirus type 7k was observed in a children's home. Forty % of the residents were ill and 84% of those tested were shown to have been infected. Sixty-three % of those infected were III with signs and symptoms clinically indistinguishable from streptococcal illness. The serologic response was equal in all age groups. There was no relative unresponsiveness of the younger children to this agent. The outbreak followed a parainfluenza type 2 epidemic Both viruses were introduced in the early fall, but there was a delay in the propagation of the adenovirus which might have been a result of local interference.
