  title = {Acute Keratoconjunctivitis Resulting From Coinfection With Avian Newcastle Virus and Human Adenovirus.},
  abstract = {<p><b>PURPOSE: </b>The aim of this study was to report a case of human keratoconjunctivitis caused by both Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and human adenovirus.</p>

<p><b>METHODS: </b>A 32-year-old-man presented with an acute unilateral keratoconjunctivitis that resolved with corneal scarring. On presentation, his conjunctival swab was collected for metagenomic sequencing.</p>

<p><b>RESULTS: </b>The highest number of pathogen sequencing reads in the conjunctival sample mapped to the NDV. The second highest number of reads mapped to human adenovirus. Confirmation testing with directed reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction also identified NDV in the specimen.</p>

<p><b>CONCLUSIONS: </b>Newcastle conjunctivitis has not been reported for more than 40 years. Mixed infections, including zoonotic pathogens, may be more common than realized.</p>
