Abstract

Adenoviruses typically lead to mild infections of the upper respiratory tract; however, they can, in rare cases, cause severe lower respiratory tract infections even in individuals with a healthy immune system. This case report discusses a pneumonia episode caused by adenovirus infection in a young woman who was previously healthy and immunocompetent.

Özet

Adenovirüsler genellikle hafif üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarına neden olurken, immün sistemi sağlam bireylerde nadiren ciddi alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarına yol açabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda; daha önce sağlıklı ve immün yetmezliği olmayan genç bir kadında adenovirüs enfeksiyonuna bağlı gelişen pnömoni vakası sunulmuştur.
