Adenovirus is a commonly isolated virus in clinical samples. Life-threatening infections, although rare, are described worldwide. An epidemic spread of an adenovirus type 3 strain occurred in the province of New Brunswick during the fall of 2008 to the winter of 2009; it resulted in three severely ill patients, with one fatality. Adenovirus should be considered as a cause of severe community-acquired viral pneumonia, especially when the influenza test is negative.
腺病毒是临床样本中常见的分离病毒。虽然罕见,但在全球范围内都有危及生命的感染病例的描述。2008 年秋季到 2009 年冬季,新不伦瑞克省爆发了一种腺病毒 3 型疫情;导致 3 名重症患者,其中 1 人死亡。腺病毒应被视为严重社区获得性病毒性肺炎的病因之一,尤其是当流感检测为阴性时。
