Does not yet inform clinical diarrhea management; leaves open a serotonin-EGC mechanism for HAdV-41 in animal models.
HAdV-41 infection stimulates serotonin secretion in human enterochromaffin cells and activates enteric glia cells, suggesting a potential mechanism for HAdV-41-induced diarrhea.
Westerberg et al. (2018) studied this question.
