Adenovirus infection is a contagious viral disease, caused by adenoviruses, commonly resulting in a respiratory tract infection. [1] [10] Typical symptoms range from those of a common cold, such as nasal congestion, coryza and cough, to difficulty breathing as in pneumonia. [10] Other general symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, abdominal pain and swollen neck glands. [2] Onset is usually two to fourteen days after exposure to the virus. [11] A mild eye infection may occur on its own, combined with a sore throat and fever, or as a more severe adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis with a painful red eye, intolerance to light and discharge. [5] Very young children may just have an earache. [2] Adenovirus infection can present as a gastroenteritis with vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain, with or without respiratory symptoms. [5] However, some people have no symptoms. [4]

Contents

Adenovirus infection in humans are generally caused by Adenoviruses types B, C, E and F. [12] Spread occurs mainly when an infected person is in close contact with another person. [7] This may occur by either fecal–oral route, airborne transmission or small droplets containing the virus. [7] Less commonly, the virus may spread via contaminated surfaces. [7] Other respiratory complications include acute bronchitis, bronchiolitis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. [5] It may cause myocarditis, meningoencephalitis or hepatitis in people with weak immune systems. [5]

Diagnosis is by signs and symptoms, and a laboratory test is not usually required. [4] In some circumstances, a PCR test on blood or respiratory secretions may detect adenovirus DNA. [4] [8] Other conditions that appear similar include whooping cough, influenza, parainfluenza, and respiratory syncytial virus. [2] Adenovirus gastroenteritis appears similar to diarrhoeal diseases caused by other infections. [13] Infection by adenovirus may be prevented by washing hands, avoiding touching own eyes, mouth and nose with unwashed hands, and avoiding being near sick people. [9] A live vaccine to protect against types 4 and 7 adenoviruses has been used successfully in some military personnel. [9] Management is generally symptomatic and supportive. [9] Most adenovirus infections get better without any treatment. [9] Medicines to ease pain and reduce fever can be bought over the counter. [9]

Adenovirus infections affect all ages. [3] They occur sporadically throughout the year, and outbreaks can occur particularly in winter and spring, when they may spread more quickly in closed populations such as in hospitals, nurseries, long-term care facilities, schools, and swimming pools. [11] Severe disease is rare in people who are otherwise healthy. [11] Adenovirus infection accounts for up to 10% of respiratory infections in children. [11] Most cases are mild and by the age of 10-years, most children have had at least one adenovirus infection. [5] 75% of conjunctivitis cases are due to adenovirus infection. [14] In 2016, the Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that globally, around 75 million episodes of diarrhea among children under the age of five-years, were attributable to adenovirus infection. [13] The first adenoviral strains were isolated in 1953 by Rowe et al. [15]

Signs and symptoms

Symptoms are variable, ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. [5] They depend on the type of adenovirus, where it enters into the body, and on the age and well-being of the person. [2] Recognised patterns of clinical features include respiratory, eye, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and central nervous system. [2] There is also a widespread type that occurs in immunocompromised people. [2] Typical symptoms are of a mild cold or resembling the flu; fever, nasal congestion, coryza, cough, and pinky-red eyes. [6] Infants may also have symptoms of an ear infection. [2] Onset is usually two to fourteen days after exposure to the virus. [11] There may be tiredness, chills, muscle aches, or headache. [2] However, some people have no symptoms. [4] Generally, a day or two after developing a sore throat with large tonsils, glands can be felt in the neck. [16] Illness is more likely to be severe in people with weakened immune systems, particularly children who have had a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [8] Sometimes there is a skin rash. [5]

Respiratory tract

Preschool children with adenovirus colds tend to present with a nasal congestion, runny nose and abdominal pain. [5] There may be a harsh barking cough. [5] It is frequently associated with a fever and a sore throat. [5] Up to one in five infants with bronchiolitis will have adenovirus infection, which can be severe. [5] Bronchiolitis obliterans is uncommon, but can occur if adenovirus causes pneumonia with prolonged fever, and can result in difficulty breathing. [5] It presents with a hyperinflated chest, expiratory wheeze and low oxygen. [5] Severe pneumonia is most common in very young children age three to 18 months and presents with sudden illness, ongoing cough, high fever, shortness of breath and a fast rate of breathing. [5] There are frequently wheezes and crackles on breathing in and out. [5]

Eyes

Adenovirus eye infection may present as a pinkish-red eye. [5] Six to nine days following exposure to adenovirus, one or both eyes, typically in children, may be affected in association with fever, pharyngitis and lymphadenopathy (pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF)). [2] The onset is usually sudden, and there is often rhinitis. [5] Adenovirus infection can also cause adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. [5] Typically one eye is affected after an incubation period of up to a week. [5] The eye becomes itchy, painful, burning and reddish and lymphadenopathy may be felt by the ear nearest the affected eye. [5] The symptoms may last around 10 days to three weeks. [5] It may be is associated with blurred vision, photophobia and swelling of the conjunctiva. [5] [14] A sore throat and nasal congestion may or may not be present. [5] This tends to occur in epidemics, affecting predominantly adults. [5] In very young children, it may be associated with high fever, sore throat, otitis media, diarrhoea, and vomiting. [5]

Gastrointestinal tract

Adenovirus infection can cause a gastroenteritis when it may present with diarrhoea, vomiting and abdominal pain, with or without respiratory or general symptoms. [5] Children under the age of one-year appear particularly vulnerable. [13] However, it usually resolves within three-days. [5] It appears similar to diarrhoea diseases caused by other infections. [13]

Other organs

Uncommonly the bladder may be affected, presenting with a sudden onset of burning on passing urine and increased frequency of passing urine, followed by seeing blood in the urine a day or two later. [5] Meningism may occur in adenovirus associated meningoencephalitis, which may occur in people with weakened immune systems such as with AIDS or lymphoma. [5] Adenovirus infection may result in symptoms of myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and pericarditis. [5] Other signs and symptoms depend on other complications such as dark urine, itching and jaundice in hepatitis, generally in people who have a weakened immune system. [5] Adenovirus is a rare cause of urethritis in men, when it may present with burning on passing urine associated with red eyes and feeling unwell. [17]

Cause and mechanism

Adenovirus infection in humans are generally caused by Adenoviruses types B, C, E and F. [12]

Although epidemiologic characteristics of the adenoviruses vary by type, all are transmitted by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission. Some types are capable of establishing persistent asymptomatic infections in tonsils, adenoids, and intestines of infected hosts, and shedding can occur for months or years. Some adenoviruses (e.g., serotypes 1, 2, 5, and 6) have been shown to be endemic in parts of the world where they have been studied, and infection is usually acquired during childhood. Other types cause sporadic infection and occasional outbreaks; for example, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis is associated with adenovirus serotypes 8, 19, and 37. Epidemics of febrile disease with conjunctivitis are associated with waterborne transmission of some adenovirus types, often centering on inadequately chlorinated swimming pools and small lakes. ARD is most often associated with adenovirus types 4 and 7 in the United States. Enteric adenoviruses 40 and 41 cause gastroenteritis, usually in children. For some adenovirus serotypes, the clinical spectrum of disease associated with infection varies depending on the site of infection; for example, infection with adenovirus 7 acquired by inhalation is associated with severe lower respiratory tract disease, whereas oral transmission of the virus typically causes no or mild disease. Outbreaks of adenovirus-associated respiratory disease have been more common in the late winter, spring, and early summer; however, adenovirus infections can occur throughout the year. [18]

Several adenoviruses, including Ad5, Ad9, Ad31, Ad36, Ad37, and SMAM1, have at least some evidence of causation of obesity in animals, adipogenesis in cells, and/or association with human obesity. [19] [ better source needed ]

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is by signs and symptoms, and a laboratory test is not usually required. [4] In some circumstances such as severe disease, when a diagnosis needs to be confirmed, a PCR test on blood or respiratory secretions may detect adenovirus DNA. [4] [8] Adenovirus can be isolated by growing in cell cultures in a laboratory. [3] Other conditions that appear similar include whooping cough, influenza, parainfluenza, and respiratory syncytial virus. [2] Since adenovirus can be excreted for prolonged periods, the presence of virus does not necessarily mean it is associated with disease. [20]

Prevention

Infection by adenovirus may be prevented by washing hands, avoiding touching own eyes, mouth and nose before washing hands and avoiding being near sick people. [9] Strict attention to good infection-control practices is effective for stopping transmission in hospitals of adenovirus-associated disease, such as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. [18] Maintaining adequate levels of chlorination is necessary for preventing swimming pool-associated outbreaks of adenovirus conjunctivitis. [9] A live adenovirus vaccine to protect against types 4 and 7 adenoviruses has been used in some military personnel. [9] Rates of adenovirus disease fell among military recruits following the introduction a live oral vaccine against types 4 and 7. [2] Stocks of the vaccine ran out in 1999 and rates of disease increased until 2011 when the vaccine was re-introduced. [2]

Treatment

Treatment is generally symptomatic and supportive. [9] Medicines to ease pain and reduce fever can be bought over the counter. [9] For adenoviral conjunctivitis, a cold compress and lubricants may provide some relief of discomfort. [16] Steroid eye drops may be required if the cornea is involved. [16] Most adenovirus infections get better without any treatment. [9]

Prognosis

After recovery from adenovirus infection, the virus can be carried for weeks or months. [11]

Adenovirus can cause severe necrotizing pneumonia in which all or part of a lung has increased translucency radiographically, which is called Swyer-James Syndrome. [21] Severe adenovirus pneumonia also may result in bronchiolitis obliterans, a subacute inflammatory process in which the small airways are replaced by scar tissue, resulting in a reduction in lung volume and lung compliance. [21]

Epidemiology

Adenovirus infections occur sporadically throughout the year, and outbreaks can occur particularly in winter and spring. [11] Epidemics may spread more quickly in closed populations such as in hospitals, nurseries, long-term care facilities, boarding schools, orphanages and swimming pools. [11] Severe disease is rare in people who are usually healthy. [11] Around 10% of respiratory infections in children are caused by adenoviruses. [11] Most are mild and by the age of 10-years, most children have had at least one adenovirus infection. [5]

Adenoviruses are the most common viruses causing an inflamed throat. [16] 75% of conjunctivitis cases are due to adenovirus infection. [14] Under two-year olds are particularly susceptible to adenovirus gastroenteritis by types 40 and 41, with type 41 being more common than type 40. [13] Some large studies have revealed type 40/41 adenovirus as one of the second most common causes of diarrhea in children in low and middle income countries; the most common being rotavirus. [13] In 2016, the Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that globally, around 75 million episodes of diarrhea among children under the age of five-years, were attributable to adenovirus infection, with a mortality of near 12%. [13]

Research in adenovirus infection has generally been limited relative to other respiratory disease viruses. [13] The impact of type-40/41 adenovirus diarrhoea is possibly underestimated. [13]

History

The first adenoviral strains were isolated from adenoids in 1953 by Rowe et al. [15] Later, during studies on rotavirus diarrhoea, the wider use of electron microscopy resulted in detecting previously unrecognized adenoviruses types 40 and 41, subsequently found to be important in causing gastrointestinal illness in children. [5]

The illness made headlines in Texas in September 2007, when a so-called "boot camp flu" sickened hundreds at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. [22] In 2018, outbreaks occurred in an adult nursing home in New Jersey, and a college campus in Maryland. [3] In 2020, as a result of infection control measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, rates of adenovirus diarrhoea declined significantly in China. [23]

Other animals

Dogs can be affected by adenovirus infection. [24] Severe liver damage is a classical infectious disease seen in unvaccinated dogs. [25]

Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is inflammation of the outermost layer of the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelid. It makes the eye appear pink or reddish. Pain, burning, scratchiness, or itchiness may occur. The affected eye may have increased tears or be "stuck shut" in the morning. Swelling of the white part of the eye may also occur. Itching is more common in cases due to allergies. Conjunctivitis can affect one or both eyes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Common cold</span> Common viral infection of the upper respiratory tract

The common cold or the cold is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the respiratory mucosa of the nose, throat, sinuses, and larynx. Signs and symptoms may appear fewer than two days after exposure to the virus. These may include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and fever. People usually recover in seven to ten days, but some symptoms may last up to three weeks. Occasionally, those with other health problems may develop pneumonia.

Croup, also known as laryngotracheobronchitis, is a type of respiratory infection that is usually caused by a virus. The infection leads to swelling inside the trachea, which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classic symptoms of "barking/brassy" cough, inspiratory stridor and a hoarse voice. Fever and runny nose may also be present. These symptoms may be mild, moderate, or severe. Often it starts or is worse at night and normally lasts one to two days.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), also called human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) and human orthopneumovirus, is a contagious virus that causes infections of the respiratory tract. It is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Its name is derived from the large cells known as syncytia that form when infected cells fuse.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Upper respiratory tract infection</span> Medical condition

An upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is an illness caused by an acute infection, which involves the upper respiratory tract, including the nose, sinuses, pharynx, larynx or trachea. This commonly includes nasal obstruction, sore throat, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, and the common cold. Most infections are viral in nature, and in other instances, the cause is bacterial. URTIs can also be fungal or helminthic in origin, but these are less common.

Kennel cough is an upper respiratory infection affecting dogs. There are multiple causative agents, the most common being the bacterium Bordetella bronchiseptica, followed by canine parainfluenza virus, and to a lesser extent canine coronavirus. It is highly contagious; however, adult dogs may display immunity to reinfection even under constant exposure. Kennel cough is so named because the infection can spread quickly among dogs in the close quarters of a kennel or animal shelter.

Viral pneumonia is a pneumonia caused by a virus. Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in one or both of the lungs. The pulmonary alveoli fill with fluid or pus making it difficult to breathe. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Viruses are the most common cause of pneumonia in children, while in adults bacteria are a more common cause.

Pneumonia is an irritation of the lungs caused by different sources. It is characterized by an inflammation of the deep lung tissues and the bronchi. Pneumonia can be acute or chronic. This life-threatening illness is more common in cats than in dogs and the complication “Kennel Cough” can occur in young pets.

<i>Human coronavirus NL63</i> Species of virus

Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) is a species of coronavirus, specifically a Setracovirus from among the Alphacoronavirus genus. It was identified in late 2004 in patients in the Netherlands by Lia van der Hoek and Krzysztof Pyrc using a novel virus discovery method VIDISCA. Later on the discovery was confirmed by the researchers from the Rotterdam, the Netherlands The virus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which enters its host cell by binding to ACE2. Infection with the virus has been confirmed worldwide, and has an association with many common symptoms and diseases. Associated diseases include mild to moderate upper respiratory tract infections, severe lower respiratory tract infection, croup and bronchiolitis.

Adenovirus serotype 14 (Ad14) is a serovar of adenovirus which, unlike other adenovirus serovars, is known to cause potentially fatal adenovirus infections.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Influenza</span> Infectious disease

Influenza, commonly known as "the flu" or just "flu", is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses. Symptoms range from mild to severe and often include fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, coughing, and fatigue. These symptoms begin from one to four days after exposure to the virus and last for about 2–8 days. Diarrhea and vomiting can occur, particularly in children. Influenza may progress to pneumonia, which can be caused by the virus or by a subsequent bacterial infection. Other complications of infection include acute respiratory distress syndrome, meningitis, encephalitis, and worsening of pre-existing health problems such as asthma and cardiovascular disease.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Influenza-like illness</span> Medical diagnosis

Influenza-like illness (ILI), also known as flu-like syndrome or flu-like symptoms, is a medical diagnosis of possible influenza or other illness causing a set of common symptoms. These include fever, shivering, chills, malaise, dry cough, loss of appetite, body aches, nausea, and sneezing typically in connection with a sudden onset of illness. In most cases, the symptoms are caused by cytokines released by immune system activation, and are thus relatively non-specific.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Adenovirus vaccine</span>

An adenovirus vaccine is a vaccine against adenovirus infection. According to American CDC, "There is currently no adenovirus vaccine available to the general public.

Transmission-based precautions are infection-control precautions in health care, in addition to the so-called "standard precautions". They are the latest routine infection prevention and control practices applied for patients who are known or suspected to be infected or colonized with infectious agents, including certain epidemiologically important pathogens, which require additional control measures to effectively prevent transmission. Universal precautions are also important to address as far as transmission-based precautions. Universal precautions is the practice of treating all bodily fluids as if it is infected with HIV, HBV, or other blood borne pathogens.

DA2PP is a multivalent vaccine for dogs that protects against the viruses indicated by the alphanumeric characters forming the abbreviation: D for canine distemper, A2 for canine adenovirus type 2, which offers cross-protection to canine adenovirus type 1, the first P for canine parvovirus, and the second P for parainfluenza. Because infectious canine hepatitis is another name for canine adenovirus type 1, an H is sometimes used instead of A. In DA2PPC, the C indicates canine coronavirus. This is not considered a core vaccination and is therefore often excluded from the abbreviation.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis</span> Common and highly contagious viral infection of the eye

Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis, also known as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, is a contagious eye infection, a type of adenovirus disease caused by adenoviruses. It typically presents as a conjunctivitis with a sudden onset of a painful red eye, watery discharge and feeling that something is in the eye. Photophobia develops with blurred vision and lymphadenopathy by the ear nearest the affected eye. It is often associated with a sore throat and stuffy and runny nose, mainly in adults. A type of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis in very young children can present with a high fever, sore throat, ear infection, vomiting and diarrhea.

Human adenovirus 41(HAdV-F41), is an enteric Adenovirus, a nonenveloped virus with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double-stranded DNA genome.
