Abstract: | Adenovirus plays a significant role in respiratory tract disease in pediatric and adult patients. It has been linked to outbreaks
and epidemics in various patient populations, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. In this article, we discuss
the epidemiology, pathogenesis, respiratory tract illnesses and complications, and roles of potential treatment options. The
role of the past oral adenovirus vaccine and the military implications of its withdrawal from routine use in military recruits
is discussed as well. |
