Adenovirus

Adenoviruses are medium-sized (90-100 nm), nonenveloped icosahedral viruses containing double-stranded DNA. There are 51 immunologically distinct types (6 subgenera: A through F) that can cause human infections. Adenoviruses most commonly cause illness of the respiratory system; however, depending on the infecting serotype, they may also cause various other illnesses, such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and rash illness. Most infections are mild and require no therapy or only symptomatic treatment. Because there is no virus-specific therapy, serious adenovirus illness can be managed only by treating symptoms and complications of the infection.
