Key Points

  • To describe the clinical profile, laboratory abnormalities, and outcomes of adenovirus infection in children admitted to a PICU.
  • Retrospective observational study among 62 children aged 1–5 years
  • Participants had reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction confirmed adenovirus infection
  • Data on demographic, clinical, laboratory, and outcomes were analyzed
  • Equal proportions of infants and children aged ≤5 years (50% each)
  • Male predominance observed (58.1%)
  • Laboratory abnormalities included transaminitis (71%), elevated C-reactive protein (53.2%), and significant mortality rate of 29%
