Adenovirus

Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that can cause a range of illnesses, including respiratory infections, sore throat, bronchitis, diarrhea, and eye infections. They are common and spread through contact with infected individuals, surfaces, or respiratory droplets. Infections can affect people of all ages, but children are particularly susceptible. Symptoms typically include cough, sore throat, fever, and sometimes eye redness or diarrhea. Most people recover without complications, although some cases may require medical attention. Adenoviruses are often associated with outbreaks in settings like schools and hospitals, emphasizing the importance of good hygiene practices to prevent spread.
