“…It confirms the above-mentioned data relating to Ad7b [Sutton et al, 1976;Straube et al, 1983;Wadell et al, 1981 I, thus emphasising the importance of this genome type in epidemic Ad7 infection in Australian children as well. Each strain was analysed by restriction endonucleases Bam H1, Bcl 1, Bgl 1, Bgl 11, Hind 111, Sma 1, and Xba 1 [Li and Wadell, 19861 and all were identified as Ad7b.…”

This study describes our experience of adenovirus type 7 infection in children in New South Wales, Australia. Some aspects of the epidemiology of the infection are also recorded. A community outbreak, a hospital-ward outbreak, sporadic cases, and data from a centralised registry are described. Results of genome-type identification using restriction endonucleases are given. Adenovirus type 7b infection was associated with significant mortality and points to the need, previously expressed, for an adequate vaccine for high-risk infants. Continued surveillance of adenovirus type 7 infections worldwide is necessary to identify genome types so that appropriate vaccines can be developed.

“…An enlarged spleen has been reported in illnesses due to adenovirus type 7 [3] and in soldiers with clinically diagnosed influenza [4]. It may also be found in apparently healthy people; in 63 (2-9 %) of 2200 freshmen undergoing routine examination on entry to college the spleen could be felt; in most there was no evidence of disease and in one third of them the spleen remained palpable for at least 3 years [5].…”

SUMMARYOver a period of 9 years in general practice temporary enlargement of the spleen was found in 29 episodes of pharyngitis or tonsillitis, in 2 episodes of acute upper respiratory tract infection other than pharyngitis and in 6 episodes of acute cervical lymphadenitis. In five patients more than one episode of illness associated with splenomegaly was recorded.In 26 of the 37 episodes a possible aetiology was identified. Evidence only of infection with group A streptococci was found in 14 episodes, adenoviruses or coxsackie B viruses were isolated alone in 4 episodes and in 4 episodes the only finding was the presence in the blood of more than occasional atypical mononuclear cells; in 4 episodes there was evidence of both streptococcal and viral infection. Episodes with evidence of streptococcal infection only tended to be of shorter duration and to be more evenly distributed over the year than were episodes without such evidence. Temporary splenomegaly was noted also in two children with varicella (one of whom also had streptococcal infection) and in an adult with probable rubella.

“…Immunologic investigations limited to immunoglobulin serum values were performed in 7 patients with HAdV CNS infection and described to be normal for age. 13,23 In our case, only a full blood count and blood film was performed. As the child recovered quickly and in the absence of a personal or family history suggestive of a primary immunodeficiency syndrome, a detailed immunology work up was deemed not to be indicated.…”

We present the case of a previously healthy 15-month-old girl with acute adenovirus infection who had features of severe bacterial sepsis and meningitis. Real-time qPCR done on cerebrospinal fluid identified adenovirus as the causative agent allowing stopping antibiotic treatment. The patient subsequently recovered without sequelae. An overview of published and unpublished data on adenovirus central nervous system infection in immunocompetent children is presented.
