Overview

Ad3 outbreaks may warrant vigilance for severity in children; leaves open whether serotype surveillance improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

P

Children with respiratory adenovirus infection in northern Taiwan between November 2004 and February 2005 (n=172 adenovirus isolates)
C
Comparator
