Prediction of severe disseminated adenovirus infection by serum PCR.
Adenoviruses are increasingly recognised as viral pathogens that can cause fatal infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly recipients of haematopoietic stem-cell grafts. Adenovirus infections are not easily diagnosed and the development of a severe infection cannot be predicted by standard culture techniques. In a pilot study, we investigated the value of adenovirus DNA detection i...
متن کاملNew human adenovirus (candidate adenovirus type 35) causing fatal disseminated infection in a renal transplant recipient.
An antigenically distinct adenovirus is described which was isolated in March 1973 from the lungs and kidney of a 61-year-old woman who died of diffuse interstitial adenovirus pneumonia 55 days after receiving a cadaveric renal allograft. Complement fixation, hemagglutination inhibition, and serum neutralization tests on sequential serum specimens from the patient confirmed that the adenovirus ...

متن کاملA dimorphic fungus causing disseminated infection in South Africa.
BACKGROUND The genus emmonsia contains three species that are associated with human disease. Emmonsia crescens and Emmonsia parva are the agents that cause adiaspiromycosis, and one human case of Emmonsia pasteuriana infection has been described. We report a fungal pathogen within the genus emmonsia that is most closely related to E. pasteuriana in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected ad...
متن کاملSevere ARDS caused by adenovirus: early initiation of ECMO plus continuous renal replacement therapy
The reported survival rates of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by human adenovirus (HAdV) pneumonia are poor. The results do not differ much in immunocompetent patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report two immunocompetent patients with severe ARDS complicating HAdV pneumonia who were treated successfully and survived to discharge...
