    Adenoviruses are viruses that can cause a wide range of illnesses such as the common cold, flu-like symptoms, sore throat, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pink eye, and acute gastroenteritis. They can also cause less common symptoms like bladder inflammation or neurological conditions. While adenovirus infections can range from mild to severe, people with weakened immune systems or existing respiratory or cardiac disease are at higher risk of serious illness. Health officials are currently investigating a possible association between pediatric hepatitis cases of unknown cause and adenovirus infection.

    Adenoviruses can cause a wide range of illnesses such as

    common cold or flu-like symptoms


    fever
    sore throat
    acute bronchitis (inflammation of the airways of the lungs, sometimes
    called a “chest cold”)
    pneumonia (infection of the lungs)
    pink eye (conjunctivitis)
    acute gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach or intestines causing diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach
    pain)

    Less common symptoms of adenovirus infection include

    bladder inflammation or infection


    neurologic disease (conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord)

    Adenoviruses can cause mild to severe illness, though serious illness is less common. People with weakened immune
    systems, or existing respiratory or cardiac disease, are at higher risk of developing severe illness from an adenovirus
    infection.
