Abstract:
Adenoviral pneumonia is rare in healthy adults. However, several cases were recently reported in a military training center in South Korea. Adenovirus genotype 3, 6, and 7 are predominant in South Korea. More recently, genotype 55, which emerged sporadically in China, has been reported in South Korea. In this study, we present a case of adenoviral pneumonia caused by genotype 55 in a healthy soldier from an army recruit training center in South Korea.
