Adenoviruses are responsible for causing diseases such as keratoconjunctivitis, pneumonia, hemorrhagic cystitis, and gastroenteritis in children. Transmission is usually via:
a. contact with rodent urine.
b. respiratory secretions.
c. arthropod vector.
d. sexual contact.
B
Adenoviruses have a double-stranded DNA genome, an icosahedral capsid, no envelope, and approximately 50 human serotypes. Adenoviruses cause disease states that include pharyngitis, pharyngoconjunctival fever, keratoconjunctivitis, pneumonia, hemorrhagic cystitis, disseminated disease, and gastroenteritis in children. Transmission is via respiratory secretions, the fecal-oral route, and direct contact (eye).
