In patients with detectable adenovirus viremia by PCR, clinical disease was attributed to adenovirus if detectable viremia was accompanied by compatible symptoms (including febrile illnesses, respiratory, gastrointestinal disease or evidence of infection of the allograft) in the absence of another defined etiology. ./cache/cord-276343-sb3vd7fq.txt ./txt/cord-276343-sb3vd7fq.txt
