Presentation
Phylogenetic trees of the whole-genome, penton base, and fiber knob regions are presented in the top row with the hexon and its parts, “loop 1” and “conserved,” presented in the bottom row. All were generated after sequence alignments. [doi.org]
The presenting symptoms were varied in all of the groups studied and no particular presenting factor predicted the risk of associated haematuria. Haematuria is a frequent presentation requiring nephrological follow up. [adc.bmj.com]
The patients presented with sudden onset respiratory distress that progressed rapidly to respiratory failure and death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In vivo, inflammation induced by the virus was dramatically greater than that by adenovirus type 37, a major eye pathogen, possibly due to a novel alternate ligand, Tyr-Gly-Asp (YGD), on the penton base protein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The viruses cause a wide range of illnesses and symptoms such as Colds Sore throat (pharyngitis) Bronchitis Pneumonia Gastroenteritis and diarrhea Pink eye (conjunctivitis) Bladder inflammation or infection (cystitis) Inflammation of stomach and intestines [quidel.com]
Enteric adenoviruses, types 40 and 41, are known to cause gastroenteritis (an inflammation of the stomach and intestines), particularly in children. [verywellhealth.com]

Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that cause respiratory (breathing) illnesses, such as a common cold, conjunctivitis (an infection in the eye), croup, bronchitis, bronchiolitis (inflammation of the lower airways), and pneumonia. [childrenshospital.org]
Adenoviruses can cause a wide range of illnesses such as Common cold Sore throat Bronchitis (a condition that occurs when the airways in the lungs become filled with mucus and may spasm, which causes a person to cough and have shortness of breath) Pneumonia [cdc.gov]
Symptoms of respiratory illness caused by Adenovirus infection range from the common cold syndrome to pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. [certest.es]

A standard diagnostic workup for children with acute hepatitis should be done locally per treating clinicians. [dph.illinois.gov]
A routine microbiological workup for infectious causes of the outbreak, including bacterial, mycoplasma, and fungal cultures, was negative. [doi.org]
Other Pathologies
- Intranuclear Inclusion Bodies
The inclusion bodies showed a positive reaction against rabbit anti-bovine adenovirus serotypes 1, 3, and 7 sera by the immunoperoxidase technique. Ultrastructurally, adonovirus-like particles were demonstrated in intranuclear inclusion bodies. [doi.org]
Treatment
This protocol facilitates rapid and cost-effective generation of virus-specific TCLs, which appear to provide an effective treatment option. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other treatment, depending on the symptoms, may include intravenous fluids, oxygen, and breathing treatments. How Long Do Adenovirus Infections Last? Most adenovirus infections last from a few days to a week or two. [kidshealth.org]
Prognosis
Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to improve the prognosis of adenovirus hepatitis in immunocompromised patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis declines as the severity of disease increases. [medicinenet.com]
Etiology
LESSON: Although the most common cause that leads to HUS remains STEC, other etiologies like viral ones that may be responsible for severe enteric infection with progression into HUS should not be neglected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The difference in testing methods should be considered when designing surveillance studies “to estimate the burden of viral etiologies of respiratory diseases,” the researchers said. [healio.com]
We analyzed 59 norovirus-positive cases with known etiology and 66 norovirus-negative cases with unknown etiology from eight different norovirus outbreaks for the presence of HAdV-52 via PCR. [doi.org]
