Persistent recipient-derived human adenovirus (HAdV)

Human Adenovirus (HAdV) Viremia in Immunocompetent Children with HAdV Infection in Respiratory Specimens: Does Viremia Predict Severity of Illness?

Searching for HAdV-52, the putative gastroenteritis-associated human adenovirus serotype in Southern Hungary.

Human adenovirus (HAdV) serotype 52 has recently been discovered in the United States in samples from human patients with gastroenteritis of unknown etiology and is suspected to be a new human enteric pathogen. The aim of the present pilot study was to investigate whether this virus is circulating in the population of Southern Hungary by screening stool specimens collected from gastroenteritis ...

Genomic and bioinformatics analyses of HAdV-4vac and HAdV-7vac, two human adenovirus (HAdV) strains that constituted original prophylaxis against HAdV-related acute respiratory disease, a reemerging epidemic disease.

Vaccine strains of human adenovirus serotypes 4 and 7 (HAdV-4vac and HAdV-7vac) have been used successfully to prevent adenovirus-related acute respiratory disease outbreaks. The genomes of these two vaccine strains have been sequenced, annotated, and compared with their prototype equivalents with the goals of understanding their genomes for molecular diagnostics applications, vaccine redevelop...

New 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 ...

Persistent Human Cosavirus Infection in Lung Transplant Recipient, Italy

Human cosavirus is a novel picornavirus recently identified in feces from children in southern Asia. We report infection with human cosavirus in a patient in the Mediterranean area. The patient was an adult double lung transplant recipient who had chronic diarrhea associated with persistent infection with human cosavirus.
