In this study, real-time PCR was used to quantify adenovirus DNA in cell suspensions prepared from 106 right and left tonsils and 10 adenoids obtained from 57 patients who underwent routine tonsillectomies and/or adenoidectomies. Eighty-four (72.4%) tonsils and adenoids samples were positive for HAdV by real-time PCR. The viral load ranged from 2.8 × 10(2) to 2.6 × 10(6) copies/10(7) cells and varied up to...
