Open Forum Infect Dis. 2017 Mar 25;4(2):ofx053. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofx053. eCollection 2017 Spring.

Abstract

We describe a review of human adenovirus (HAdV) infections occurring among adults in a tertiary hospital in Singapore from February to May 2013. A similar increase in cases was observed among children and military personnel during the same time period. The majority of isolates were identified as HAdV-7, likely an emerging pathogen in Asia.
