Identification of the aetiologic agent(s) associated with an outbreak of fatal childhood viral infection in Sarawak, Malaysia, in mid 1997 remains elusive. It is reported here that African green monkey kidney (Vero) and human monocytic (U937) cells treated with inocula derived from clinical specimens of some of these fatal cases showed the presence of cellular genomic DNA degradation when the extracted DNA was separated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), oligonucleosomal DNA ladders characteristic of apoptotic cells when the infected cells' DNA was separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, and apoptotic cellular DNA fragmentation when cells were stained using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL). These results suggest that inocula derived from the patients' clinical specimens contain factors which stimulate apoptotic cellular responses in vitro.
