Abstract
THE CLINICAL syndromes commonly associated with adenovirus (ADV) infection, usually in children, are febrile pharyngitis with or without conjunctivitis, severe and often fatal pneumonia, keratoconjunctivitis, and asymptomatic intestinal infection.1Acute respiratory disease, frequently seen in military recruits, varies from mild, febrile pharyngitis and tracheitis to severe, fatal pneumonia.1We recently cared for a man with pneumonia and rhabdomyolysis associated with ADV-21. Report of a Case A 46-year-old man with Huntington's disease was admitted to the hospital with a one-day history of dyspnea, paroxysmal nonproductive coughing, fever to 40 °C, and myalgias. There was no notable history of illness except for the presence of Huntington's disease. His temperature was 38.4 °C; pulse rate, 110 beats per minute; respirations, 40/minute; and blood pressure, 135/75 mm Hg. There were inspiratory and expiratory wheezes and rales at both lung bases posteriorly and decreased breath sounds over the right lower lobe posteriorly. PertinentKeywords
