2013-2014 human adenovirus outbreak suggests re-emergence in US
Scott MK, et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2016;doi:10.3201/eid2206.151898.

Recent data published in Emerging Infectious Diseases implicated multiple human adenoviruses in a 2013-2014 outbreak affecting nearly 200 people.
These cases were primarily associated with the relatively uncommon human adenovirus (HAdV)-B7 and could represent a potential re-emergence of the disease in the United States, according to Magdalena Kendall Scott, MPH, epidemiologist for the Oregon Public Health Division (OPHD), and colleagues.
?Circulating HAdVs can vary temporally and geographically; emergent genomic variants are possibly associated with more severe illness,? they wrote. ?Recent reports have noted severe respiratory disease associated with the re-emergence of HAdV-B7 and genomic variant 7d in China and other countries in Asia. However, HAdV-B7 was rarely reported in the United States during the past decade.?...
