Epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics, and prognostic factors of children with atopy hospitalised with adenovirus pneumonia

Abstract: Background Atopy may be associated with disease severity and a poor prognosis of human adenovirus (HAdV) pneumonia in children. Our aim was to observe the clinical characteristics and pulmonary radiological changes in children with atopy and HAdV pneumonia in China. Methods Children hospitalised with HAdV pneumonia from June 2018 to December 2019 were analysed. All children were divided into atopic with HAdV, non-atopic with HAdV, and atopic withou… Show more

“…Children in the severe group weighed significantly less than those in the mild group ( P < 0.001). There are more boys than girls in this study population, which is consistent with the results of other scholars ( 14 , 15 ). In this study, the proportion of girls who progressed to severe illness was significantly higher than boys, which may be related to the girls’ low weight, nutritional status, and weak immunity.…”

“…Therefore, whether there is a gender difference in adenovirus infection needs to be further studied with large samples. Humans are generally susceptible to HAdV, and adenovirus pneumonia occurs most often in children between 6 months and 5 years of age ( 15 , 17 ). In this study, children under 5 years old accounted for 84.20%, which was consistent with local Chinese and international reports ( 1 , 15 ).…”

“…According to a statistic report from some southern cities in China in 2018–2019, ADVP accounts for approximately 25% of the overall community acquired pneumonia in children ( 6 ). In addition, the early mortality of children with ADVP was reported as high as 50% ( 7 ). For children who survived from ADVP, severe complication may develop, such as the postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) ( 8 ).…”
