Current Trends of Human Adenovirus Types Among Hospitalized Children-A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are pathogens causing different illnesses, particularly in pediatric and immunocompromised patients in developed countries. The clinical spectrum of HAdV-infections ranges from mild to severe, and the clinical presentation varies widely. Certain HAdVs types, including types B3, E4, B7, B14, B21, G55, and B66, may be associated with lower respiratory tract infections and thus lead to higher hospitalization, increased morbidity, as well as lethality rates. The aim of this article is to synthesize and analyze the prevalence of specific HAdV types in pediatric patients worldwide. A systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science. In total, n = 1167 titles and abstracts were screened, and 105 full-text articles were assessed
