Clinical characteristics and factors predicting respiratory failure in adenovirus pneumonia.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Limited data exist regarding factors predicting respiratory failure (RF) in non-immunocompromised patients with adenovirus (AdV) pneumonia. METHODS:We described characteristics of AdV pneumonia (n?=?91) versus non-AdV pneumonia (n?=?55) and compared clinico-laboratory and radiological characteristics in patient groups categorized by RF. RESULTS:All 91 AdV pneumonia patients presented with acute respiratory symptoms and radiological infiltrations and had significantly lower levels of white blood cell counts and platelet counts compared with non-AdV pneumonia. Of them, 67 patients had mild pneumonia without RF (non-RF), 14 patients had no RF at admission but progressed to RF during hospitalization (progressed to RF) and 10 patients had RF at admission (initial RF). Initial monocyte percentage and absolute monocyte counts in RF patient groups (progressed to RF and initial RF) were significantly lower than those of non-RF patients (both P?
