The adenoviral infections in children admitted to hospital with pneumonia, acute bronchiolitis or respiratory viral infections.

CONCLUSIONS: The percent of ADV infections in children hospitalized with acute respiratory infections (ARI) caused by neither RSV or hMPV is 14.2%. ADV is most frequently encountered in the 6 months - 2 years and then 2 - 5 years groups, but the most severe pneumonia forms can be seen in the 6 months - 2 years group. In children < 6 months with acute bronchiolitis ADV was not found to be an etiologic agent. PMID: 22838216 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
