12 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
A surge in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) human adenovirus A31 (HAdV-A31) infections was initially observed in late 2014/2015 at SickKids (SK) Hospital, Toronto, Canada. In response, enhanced laboratory monitoring for all adenovirus infections was conducted. Positive samples underwent genotyping, viral culture, and, in selected cases, whole-genome sequencing (WGS). HAdV-A31 specimens/DNA obtained...
