Droplet transmission: It is the main mode of transmission of adenovirus in respiratory tract infections .

Fecal-oral transmission: contact with infected feces.

Contact transmission: Touching an object or surface contaminated with adenovirus and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes without washing your hands.

Susceptible population

Adenovirus is a common opportunistic infection pathogen, and people are generally susceptible to it . People with chronic underlying diseases and impaired immune function are more likely to develop severe symptoms.

Adenovirus pneumonia is common in children aged 6 months to 5 years . Some children have severe clinical manifestations and multiple extra-pulmonary complications. Severe cases are prone to leaving behind chronic airway and lung diseases , which require high attention.

What symptoms require prompt medical attention?

1. Recurrent high fever or persistent high fever.

2. The cough is progressively worse, with chest tightness and difficulty breathing .

3. Vomiting cannot be relieved , frequent vomiting makes it impossible to eat, and dehydration occurs due to decreased urine output .

4. Hematuria and rash occur.

5. Abnormal mental state or convulsions occur.

6. Having earache, abdominal pain, headache and other discomforts.

How to prevent adenovirus?

There is currently no specific vaccine for adenovirus , but prevention can be based on the experience of preventing respiratory infectious diseases in autumn and winter.

In daily life, we need to pay attention to personal hygiene, wash our hands frequently , open windows regularly for ventilation indoors, reduce gatherings, and try to wear masks when going out.

In addition, adenovirus is not sensitive to disinfectants such as alcohol and ether , and items touched by infected patients can be disinfected with chlorine-containing liquid . Contaminated diapers, vomit, etc. should be sealed and discarded, and never left open in the living area.

In addition, the chickenpox outbreak is high in the near future↓↓↓

Doctors remind: timely vaccination against varicella is the most economical and effective measure to prevent the spread of varicella. During the varicella epidemic, try to avoid going to crowded places . If you must go, you should wear a mask. If someone in your family is infected with varicella, the patient should be isolated until all the herpes has scabbed or for at least 2 weeks after the onset of the disease, and avoid close contact with others.
