Compared to children infected with HAdV-3 alone, those infected with HAdV-7 alone had an increased frequency of severe pneumonia (32.4% vs 11.6%; P=0.031) and higher intensive care unit admission rates (26.5% vs 7.0%; P=0.019).

Overview

May warrant closer monitoring for HAdV-7 in children; leaves open whether serotype guides therapy.

Structured PICO

P
Population
4,751 children hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTIs) at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from September 2007 to March 2014, with 93.3% of HAdV-positive patients being younger than 5 years.
O
Outcome
Genotypes of circulating human adenovirus (HAdV) strains and their associations with clinical symptoms

HAdV-7 is associated with more severe clinical outcomes, including higher rates of severe pneumonia and ICU admission, compared to HAdV-3 in children with lower respiratory tract infections.
