Prolonged shedding of type 55 human adenovirus in immunocompetent adults with adenoviral respiratory infections huh2019prolonged

Prospective study of immunocompetent adults with respiratory infection confirmed as human adenovirus type 55 (HAdV-55) during an outbreak. Consecutive respiratory specimens (sputum or nasopharyngeal swab) were collected every 2 days and adenovirus viral load was measured by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), reported as copies per mL relative to symptom onset.
