    Abstract:
    On July 19, 1991, the Communicable Disease Section of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (DEHNR) was notified that an outbreak of acute upper respiratory illness had occurred in campers and counselors at a 4-week summer camp. Manifestations of the illness included pharyngitis, cough, fever to 104 F (40 C), headache, myalgia, malaise, and conjunctivitis. On August 2, the DEHNR was notified of a similar outbreak during a second 4-week session at the camp. The epidemiologic investigation, initiated by the DEHNR on August 7, identified the cause as pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF) associated with infection with adenovirus type 3. This report summarizes findings from the investigation.
