Abstract
- On occasion, outbreaks of infection with adenovirus types 3, 7, and 21 cause severe lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in children. From 1990 to 1998, all cases of LRTI due to adenovirus at the Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Seoul, Korea, were reviewed. Adenoviruses were recovered from nasal aspirate specimens of 87 (5.9%) of 1472 children with LRTI. The principal adenovirus serotypes were type 2 (13 [15%] of 87 strains), type 3 (13 [15%]), and type 7 (36 [41%]). Of the 87 infections, 62 (71%) occurred in children
