Strain variation in adenovirus serotypes 4 and 7a causing acute respiratory disease.
In order to determine the suitability of vaccine strains established in the 1960s for a new vaccine, a comprehensive study of strain variation of adenovirus serotype 4 (AV 4) and AV 7 was undertaken. A 1,500-bp region of the hexon gene containing the AV neutralization epitopes from prototype, vaccine, and community-acquired strains and from wild-type strains from military personnel that cause a...
متن کاملNeuromuscular disease causing acute respiratory failure.
In the developed world, Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis account for the majority of cases of acute respiratory failure associated with neuromuscular disease. The 4 components that contribute to respiratory failure are upper-airway dysfunction, inspiratory-muscle weakness, expiratory-muscle weakness, and the pulmonary complications associated with these conditions.

متن کاملCharacterization of avian adenovirus type-4 causing hydro-pericardium syndrome in broilers in Karachi, Pakistan
Avian adenovirus was isolated from naturally infected birds during 1990 to 2003 in the vicinity ofKarachi, Pakistan. The virus is known to cause hydro-pericardium syndrome (HPS) in poultry. The mortalitywas recorded 20-50% in commercial broilers. Fifty field samples were collected; however, six samples wereselected for molecular studies. These isolates were grown and characterized by cell cultu...
متن کاملLarge, persistent epidemic of adenovirus type 4-associated acute respiratory disease in U.S. army trainees.
In May 1997, a large, persistent epidemic of adenovirus type 4-associated acute respiratory disease began at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, the largest army basic training center. The epidemic lasted until December and declined when vaccine administration resumed. More than 1,000 male and female trainees were hospitalized; 66.1% of those hospitalized had an adenovirus type 4 isolate.
متن کاملControl of adenovirus acute respiratory disease in U.S. Army trainees.
Although limited almost exclusively to military trainees, acute respiratory disease (ARD) caused by adenovirus types 4 and 7 had been the leading cause of hospitalization in U.S. Army personnel. This decrease which resembles influenza in clinical manifestations led to hospitalization of as many as 50% of military trainees in midwinter and imposed a heavy burden on military hospitals and trainin...
