Presentation
The patients presented with sudden onset respiratory distress that progressed rapidly to respiratory failure and death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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]

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]

Other epidemiological feature was as follows: EAd were detected throughout the year. The predominant serotype was Ad40 during 1980-1985, while Ad41 were observed after 1986. EAd were detected most frequently from the children aged 0-3 years. [doi.org]
Epidemiologic features: Although epidemiologic characteristics of the adenoviruses vary by type, all are transmitted by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission. [web.archive.org]

We discuss the differential diagnosis and pathophysiology of allograft viral infections and concomitant rejection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Kajon believes it should be more widely available, “This is a vaccine-preventable disease,” she said. “A life is a life. Losing a loved one to viral pneumonia when you know it could have been prevented is hard.” [nbcnews.com]
