Severe Pneumonia Associated with Adenovirus Type 55 Infection, France, 2014

Résumé

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) comprise 70 recognized genotypes (as of February 15, 2016; http://hadvwg.gmu.edu/) and are frequently associated with mild and acute upper respiratory tract infections, depending on virus type and host immune status (1). HAdV type 55 (HAdV-55) has recently reemerged as a highly virulent pathogen, causing severe and sometimes fatal pneumonia among immunocompetent adults, particularly in Asia (2–4). Formerly known as HAdV-11a, HAdV-55 is a genotype resulting from recombination between HAdV-11 and HAdV-14 (5). We report 2 cases of severe pneumonia associated with HAdV-55 infection in France
