Severe adenovirus pneumonia in immunocompetent adults: a case report and review of the literature	2007-11-21		.txt	text/plain	2164	145	36	We report a case of severe adenovirus pneumonia in a young immunocompetent male who presented with sudden onset respiratory distress that progressed rapidly to respiratory failure and made a successful recovery on supportive measures. Systematic review of the literature identified 14 cases of severe adenovirus pneumonia (defined as respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support at any point during the course of illness) in otherwise healthy immunocompetent adults both in epidemic and community settings. We report a case of severe adenovirus pneumonia in a previously healthy immunocompetent male who presented to us with rapidly developing respiratory failure and made a successful recovery on supportive measures. We defined severe adenovirus pneumonia if associated with respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support at any point during the course of illness and immunocompetent adults as individuals with no acquired or congenital immunodeficiency state with or without associated premorbid conditions.	./cache/cord-006448-elfroq6f.txt	./txt/cord-006448-elfroq6f.txt
