Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological data suggest that clinical outcomes of human adenovirus (HAdV) infection may be influenced by virus serotype, coinfection with multiple strains, or infection with novel intermediate strains. In this report, we propose a clinical algorithm for detecting HAdV coinfection and intermediate strains. STUDY DESIGN: We PCR amplified and sequenced subregions of the hexon and fiber genes of 342...
