Adenoviruses (Ads) are recognized as etiologic agents of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, eye, and kidney. Ads are rarely associated with severe clinical symptoms in healthy individuals. In contrast, in the pediatric population, military recruits, and immunocompromised individuals, Ad infections often result in disseminated and potentially life-threatening disease. Ocular Ad infections are among the leading causes of viral conjunctivitis.
