Adenovirus-associated Deaths in US Military during Postvaccination Period, 1999–2010

Abstract: For about 50 years, adenovirus has been a major cause of serious respiratory illness in US active duty military members, particularly at basic training camps. During 1971–1999, a vaccine program successfully lowered the number of illnesses and deaths from adenovirus infection. However, a recent study has shown that since the program ended, the number of deaths might be creeping back up. A new program, which uses second-generation adenovirus vaccines approved in 2011, is expected to again lower the number of il… Show more

“…During the 1999–2010 lapse in adenovirus vaccine coverage, 8 adenovirus-infected service members died ( 13 ). Estimates showed each infection costs ≈$3,838, and each year the vaccine prevents 1 death, 1,100–2,700 hospitalizations, and 13,000 febrile infections among military recruits.…”

“…All patients were young, previously healthy soldiers. Although several studies have described the clinical features of adenovirus infection among military personnel (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13), few studies have compared the clinical characteristics of pneumonic and non-pneumonic adenovirus cases or evaluated the risk factors associated with military training courses. Furthermore, few reports have provided detailed descriptions of the radiological features of adenovirus infections by means such as thinsection computed tomography (CT) (7,9).…”
