Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adenoviruses are common pediatric pathogens causing acute respiratory illness and gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age and are also associated with disseminated infection and disease in pediatric transplant recipients and other immunocompromised patients. In this Special Issue, we would like to showcase epidemiology studies, case reports of unusual clinical presentations and courses of disease, descriptions of novel adenoviruses detected in cases of pediatric infection, nosocomial outbreaks in neonatal or pediatric wards, and relevant studies of novel prophylactic and therapeutic intervention strategies. We welcome all paper formats, including short and regular original articles and reviews.
