Abstract

Currently, most cases of adenovirus infection in children are associated with moderate symptoms. Adenovirus infection most commonly affects babies and young children (66,7 %). 83,3 % of patients with adenovirus infection develop symptoms of lower respiratory tract injury. Laboratory tests that are used to assess intoxication, such as CRP level, LII, HTI, ISLB, help determine the severity and extent of the disease. It allows us to predict a faster progression toward a more severe disease course and its complications.

Keywords
