Outbreak of febrile respiratory illness associated with human adenovirus type 14p1 in <scp>G</scp>ansu Province, <scp>C</scp>hina

Abstract

HadV-14p1 has caused outbreaks of pneumonia and mortality among adults in the United States and Europe. It may cause similar conditions among Chinese adults due to poor hygiene and sanitation. It seems prudent for China to develop a national surveillance system to determine the etiology of severe respiratory diseases and deaths among adults and school-aged children.
