Febrile Respiratory Illness Associated with Human Adenovirus Type 55 in South Korea Military, 2014–20161
نویسندگان
چکیده
An outbreak of febrile respiratory illness associated with human adenovirus (HAdV) occurred in the South Korea military during the 2014-15 influenza season and thereafter. Molecular typing and phylogenetic analysis of patient samples identified HAdV type 55 as the causative agent. Emergence of this novel HAdV necessitates continued surveillance in military and civilian populations.

Spread of Adenovirus to Geographically Dispersed Military Installations, May–October 2007
In mid-May 2007, a respiratory disease outbreak associated with adenovirus, serotype B14 (Ad14), was recognized at a large military basic training facility in Texas. The affected population was highly mobile; after the 6-week basic training course, trainees immediately dispersed to advanced training sites worldwide. Accordingly, enhanced surveillance and control efforts were instituted at sites...
متن کاملDramatic decline of respiratory illness among US military recruits after the renewed use of adenovirus vaccines.
BACKGROUND In late 2011, after a 12-year hiatus, oral vaccines against adenovirus types 4 (Ad4) and 7 (Ad7) were again produced and administered to US military recruits. This study examined the impact of the new adenovirus vaccines on febrile respiratory illness (FRI) and adenovirus rates and investigated if new serotypes emerged. FRI rates and their associated hospitalizations had markedly ris...

متن کاملRetrospective analysis of demographic and clinical factors associated with etiology of febrile respiratory illness among US military basic trainees
BACKGROUND Basic trainees in the US military have historically been vulnerable to respiratory infections. Adenovirus and influenza are the most common etiological agents responsible for febrile respiratory illness (FRI) among trainees and present with similar clinical signs and symptoms. Identifying demographic and clinical factors associated with the primary viral pathogens causing FRI epidemi...
متن کاملType‐specific clinical characteristics of adenovirus‐associated influenza‐like illness at five US military medical centers, 2009–2014
BACKGROUND Adenovirus is a recognized cause of influenza-like illness (ILI). The proportion of ILI attributable to adenovirus is not known. Moreover, knowledge gaps remain with respect to the epidemiologic, virologic, and clinical characteristics of adenovirus-associated ILI among otherwise healthy individuals. METHODS An observational, longitudinal study of <65-year-old patients with febrile...
