What is the frequency of human adenovirus serotypes in children with acute gastroenteritis compared to asymptomatic controls?
This study aims to characterize the etiological role and frequencies of human adenovirus serotypes in pediatric acute gastroenteritis.
No quantitative data exist to guide adenovirus testing or attribution now; leaves open serotype-specific roles in pediatric gastroenteritis.
The objective of this study was to characterize the etiological role of human adenovirus (HAdV) serotypes in pediatric gastroenteritis. Using a case-control design, we compared the frequencies of HAdV serotypes between children with ≥3 episodes of vomiting or diarrhea within 24 h and <7 days of symptoms (i.e., cases) and those with no infectious symptoms (i.e., controls). Stool samples and/or rectal swabs underwent molecular serotyping with cycle threshold (Ct) values provided by multiplex real-time reverse transcription-PCR testing.
