Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Adenovirus type 4 Pneumonia: a Case Report

Highlights • Community-acquired adenovirus pneumonia can rapidly progress to respiratory failure. • Single dose of cidofovir therapy was effective, but was associated with severe neutropenia. • Multiplex real-time PCR is a valuable tool to identify the virus responsible for clinical syndrome. • Aden...

Summary:Highlights • Community-acquired adenovirus pneumonia can rapidly progress to respiratory failure. • Single dose of cidofovir therapy was effective, but was associated with severe neutropenia. • Multiplex real-time PCR is a valuable tool to identify the virus responsible for clinical syndrome. • Adenoviruses should be included in the diagnostics panel also in patients with severe respiratory infection.
