Progress on immunological pathogenesis of adenovirus pneumonia in children / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Human adenovirus pneumonia(adenovirus pneumonia for short)is one of the important types of community-acquired pneumonia in children.Severe pneumonia can easily occur in infants or patients with impaired immune function, which can lead to acute lung injury and pulmonary sequelae.In severe infection, the significant imbalance between inflammatory cells and cytokines leads to tissue damage.In this paper, the classification, structure, infection receptor of human adenovirus and the immunological pathogenesis of adenovirus pneumonia are described.
