Among a group of hospitalized children in Fukuoka, southern Japan, an epidemic of pharyngoconjunctival fever-like disease caused by adenovirus type 11 was observed in the autumn of 1988. Of the 47 children studied 38 were seronegative in neutralizing antibody for adenovirus type 11 before the epidemic, and seroconversion occurred in 16 (42%) including 5 subclinical cases. Of the 11 symptomatic patients the incidences of conjunctivitis, pharyngitis and fever were 91, 64 and 46%, respectively. Four patients (36%) had all three symptoms. Fifteen patients (94%) were boys. The sex predominance and high incidence of conjunctivitis suggested that infection may have been transmitted in the large bathroom where boys took baths together.
