Human adenoviruses are common pathogens associated with many diseases, including
respiratory, gastrointestinal, and ocular infections. Because they are now being increasingly …

Adenoviruses (AdV) can cause life-threatening infections in immunosuppressed patients.
Reliable diagnostic tests are therefore of paramount importance. Apparently, any of the six …

The rapid diagnosis of human adenovirus (Ad) infection is crucial for the timely recognition
of epidemics. Moreover, identification of the serotypes known to cause serious disease can …

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used previously for the detection and typing
of adenoviruses directly in clinical samples. Since under clinical conditions subgenus …

Here we present a system for adenovirus detection and genotyping based on PCR
amplification and phylogenetic analysis of a conserved hexon gene fragment. The system …

Adenovirus infection is becoming increasingly recognized as a cause of morbidity and
mortality in the immunosuppressed patient population. While early detection and …

Subgenus identification of adenoviruses is of clinical importance and is as informative as
identification by serotype in most clinical situations. A PCR-based identification of …

Human adenoviruses (AdV) have been implicated in a wide variety of diseases and are
ubiquitous in populations worldwide. These agents are of concern particularly in …

ABSTRACT A quantitative real-time TaqMan PCR assay for detection of human
adenoviruses (HAdV) was developed using broadly reactive consensus primers and a …

The “gold standard” for the diagnosis of adenovirus (AV) infection is virus culture, which is
rather time-consuming. Especially for immunocompromised patients, in whom severe …
