Research progress on lung injury mechanism of adenovirus pneumonia in children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Human adenovirus is a DNA virus and a common pathogen of respiratory tract infection in children of China.Adenovirus can trigger a variety of mechanisms, thereby dissolving and killing lung cells.Consequently, it leads to such acute lung injury as acute respiratory distress and lung consolidation, and such pulmonary sequelae as bronchiolitis obliterates, unilateral transparent lung, bronchiectasis, and interstitial fibrosis.In this article, the mechanism underlying children lung injury caused by adenovirus was reviewed.
