Adenovirus (AdV) respiratory infections have usually been associated with species B, C, and E. In this study, we detected 9.4% of AdVs by PCR in 500 nasal swabs from 319 children with influenza-like symptoms. AdV typing by PCR with specific probes showed species C, B, and F as well as coinfection with two species. Coinfection with two AdV species and the presence of species F in respiratory samples are novel findings that should be further investigated.
腺病毒(AdV)呼吸道感染通常与B、C和E型相关。在本研究中,我们通过PCR在319名有流感样症状儿童的500份鼻拭子中检测到9.4%的腺病毒。使用特异性探针通过PCR进行腺病毒分型显示有C、B和F型,以及两种类型的共感染。呼吸道样本中两种腺病毒类型的共感染和F型的存在是新发现,值得进一步研究。
