Abstract

During November 2012–July 2013, a marked increase of adenovirus type 7 (Ad7) infections associated with severe disease was documented among pediatric patients in Singapore. Phylogenetic analysis revealed close genetic links with severe Ad7 outbreaks in China, Taiwan, and other parts of Asia.
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are classified into >50 types and are associated with clinical manifestations that include respiratory, gastrointestinal, ocular, genitourinary, and neurologic disease (1). HAdV infections have been estimated to cause 5%–10% of acute respiratory illnesses in children <5 years of age. Although most infections are subclinical or result in mild upper respiratory tract illnesses, HAdVs can also cause severe pneumonia. Among the HAdV types, type 7 (Ad7) has most often been associated with severe respiratory disease (2).
Recent reports have noted increased incidence of severe Ad7 disease in Asia: among the general population and pediatric inpatients in Taiwan; among persons in a military training camp in Shaanxi, China; and among those in a police training center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (24). During January–June 2013, physicians in Singapore noted an increase in HAdV pediatric inpatients. Here we characterize the clinical and molecular epidemiology of this outbreak by reviewing data from government hospitals, the military, and a nationwide influenza-like illness (ILI) laboratory surveillance network in Singapore.

Dr. Ng is an Infectious Disease Consultant at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. His primary research interests are pathogen molecular epidemiology, emerging infectious diseases, and HIV.
