- Human adenovirus (HAdV) outbreaks can lead to mild flu-like symptoms in healthy young adults, but severe cases can occur, as seen in a Fall 2022 outbreak at a university.
- The study identified 90 confirmed HAdV cases among students aged 17-26, with the majority experiencing mild illness, yet 7 students required hospitalization, highlighting a need for vigilance.
- The investigation revealed that many close contacts experienced symptoms but did not seek medical attention, indicating the actual number of infections could be higher than reported.
