Of 418 stool specimens of infants tested, 45 specimens contained adenoviruses, mainly the types 1 and 2, 40 and 41. Infections by these types caused symptoms of the gastrointestinal and the respiratory tract to varying degrees: adenoviruses 40 and 41 frequently caused gastroenteritis, adeno 2 was often associated with diarrhoea, adeno 1 mostly caused illness of the respiratory tract necessitating hospitalization of the infants. As adenoviruses may produce--especially during the first years of life--severe diseases of the respiratory and the gastro-intestinal tract, their detection will be of major importance to the pediatrician, the more so as today's methods of detection of adenoviruses are easier and less time-consuming than in the past.
在检测的418份婴儿粪便样本中，45份样本含有腺病毒，主要是1型和2型、40型和41型。这些类型的感染会不同程度地引起胃肠道和呼吸道症状：40型和41型腺病毒常引起肠胃炎，2型腺病毒常与腹泻有关，1型腺病毒大多引起呼吸道疾病，需要婴儿住院治疗。由于腺病毒可能会——尤其是在生命的最初几年——引发呼吸道和胃肠道的严重疾病，因此对儿科医生来说，检测腺病毒至关重要，更何况如今检测腺病毒的方法比过去更简便、耗时更少。
