Severe Infections with Human Adenovirus 7d in 2 Adults in Family, Illinois, USA, 2014

Emerg Infect Dis. 2016 Apr;22(4):730-3. doi: 10.3201/eid2204.151403.

Abstract

Human adenovirus 7d, a genomic variant with no reported circulation in the United States, was isolated from 2 adults with severe respiratory infections in Illinois. Molecular typing identified a close relationship with strains of the same genome type isolated from cases of respiratory disease in several provinces of China since 2009.

Keywords: Illinois; United States; adenovirus; adenovirus 7d; family; respiratory infections; viruses.
