Adenovirus 40/41 is a significant pathogen in infants in low-resource settings, presenting with fever, and its burden may be mitigated by exclusive breastfeeding.
Supports consideration of adenovirus 40/41 in febrile infants in low-resource settings; hypothesis-generating for breastfeeding prevention and requires confirmation.
This study supports the situation of adenovirus 40/41 as a pathogen of substantial importance, especially in infants. Fever was a distinguishing characteristic in comparison to other nonrotavirus viral etiologies, and promotion of exclusive breastfeeding may reduce the high observed burden in the first 6 months of life.
