Common upper R.T.I includes colds,
tonsillitis, pharyngitis ,pharyngo conjunctival
fever, and sometimes croup.
ADENOVIRUS
Infections of the eye and conjunctivitis
often accompany respiratory infection
(in children, otitis media is often a
complication of the respiratory disease.)
ADENOVIRUS
Lower R.T.I can be severe in children.
Pneumonia is often fatal in
infants and young children

Cause less than 5% of all acute respiratory
disease in the general population;
ADENOVIRUS
However, they account for up to 15% of all
acute diarrheal infections in children

promote viral DNA replication and are
good targets for antiviral drugs.
