Adenovirus serotype 14 infection, New Brunswick, Canada, 2011

Emerg Infect Dis. 2013 Jan;19(1):119-22. doi: 10.3201/eid1901.120423.

Abstract

We describe 3 culture-proven cases of adenovirus serotype 14 infection in New Brunswick, Canada, during the summer of 2011. Strains isolated from severely ill patients were closely related to strains of a genomic variant, adenovirus 14p1, circulating in the United States and Ireland. Physicians in Canada should be aware of this emerging adenovirus.
