Abstract
Background
From 2008, sporadic cases of severe cases caused by emerging Human Adenovirus Type 55 (HAdV-55) were reported in China. But no comparative studies have been conducted to discern the differences in epidemiological and clinical abnormalities between HAdV-55 and other types (HAdV-7, 3, 14, 50 and C).
Methods
A multi-center surveillance study for adult and adolescent community-acquired pneumonia was conducted prospectively in Beijing and Yan Tai between November 2010 and April 2012. A standardized data form was used to record clinical information. The viral DNA extracted from the clinical samples or adenovirus viral isolates were sequenced.
Results:
Among 969 cases, 48 (5%) were identified as adenovirus pneumonia. Six branches were clustered: HAdV-55 in 21; HAdV-7 in 11; HAdV-3 in 9; HAdV-14 in 4; HAdV-50 in 2 and HAdV-C in 1. Most HAdV-55 was identified during February and March. All the hypervariable region of the hexon genes of the 21 HAdV-55 strains was completely identical. Compared with other types (HAdV-7, 3, 14, 50 and C), patients due to HAdV-55 were about 10 years older (p=0.027) and had higher PSI score (p=0.030). Systemic blood pressure was also higher among patients in HAdV-55 group (p=0.006). Unilateral or bilateral consolidations were the most common radiological findings in both HAdV-55 group and other types (57.9% vs 36%). More than half of the patients were admitted to hospitals, oxygen therapy was given to 29.2% of the patients and two of them needed mechanical ventilation.
Conclusions
HAdV-55 has established itself as a major pneumonia pathogen among Chinese population and further surveillance and monitoring of this agent as a cause of CAP is warranted.
