Abstract

Human adenovirus is one of the most important pathogen causing acute respiratory infections in infants and young children, and is easy to cause severe adenovirus pneumonia and respiratory distress syndrome, which can cause death and varying degrees of sequelae.The pathogenesis of human adenovirus-induced severe adenovirus pneumonia remains unclear.It is currently believed that the main predisposing &factors for the occurrence and development of adenovirus pneumonia are immune dysfunction and immune dysfunction after viral infection.This article reviewed the research progress on the pathogenesis of adenovirus pneumonia induced by human adenovirus.
