Antiviral therapy of adenovirus pneumonia / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Adenovirus pneumonia is a common type of pneumonia in immunocompetent and immu-nocompromised patients,and its prognosis is poor. Antiviral therapy includs ganciclovir,valganciclovir,cido-fovir,brincidofovir,ribavirin and so on. Among them,cidofovir and brincidofovir have obvious antiviral activ-ity against adenovirus in vitro and in vivo,but further RCT results are still needed. Therefore,antiviral therapy of adenovirus pneumonia still needs further study.
