Adenovirus

Adenoviruses are responsible for a spectrum of diseases in humans. These versatile viruses can lead to various clinical manifestations, ranging from mild, self-limiting infections to severe, systemic illnesses. Respiratory infections are among the most common diseases caused by adenoviruses. They often present as the common cold, characterized by symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. In more severe cases, adenovirus respiratory infections can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
