3. Virology & Pathophysiology
4. Adenovirus: Basic Virology First identified in 1953
> 51 adenovirus strains identified
6 subgroups recognized
5. Adenovirus: Basic Virology Non-enveloped 65-80 nm icosahedral viruses
6. Adenovirus: Transmission Inhaled aerosolized droplets
Direct spread to conjunctiva
Fecal-oral spread
Virus shed for months after initial infection in stool in immunocompetant
No clear seasonal pattern
Early spring and autumn in some studies
7. Adenovirus: Transmission Receptor
CAR
MHC class I ?2 domain (AdV 2 & 5)
Sialic acid (subgroup D)
?vß3 and ?vß5 integrins cofactor for efficient infection
8. Adenovirus: Replication Receptor binding
Endocytosis into cell
Acidifcation of the endosome results in degradation of the capsid
Penton base facilitates released from the endosome and transported to the nucleus
EIA region of the adenovirus genome is activated
Early proteins are made

9. Epidemiology & Clinical Significance
10. Adenovirus: Non-Military Impact Long-term care facilities
Children (esp Day care facilities)
Swimming pools
Job Corps training camps
Immunosuppressed patients
11. Adenovirus: Military Significance Outbreaks in military since the 1950s
Adenovirus caused 10% of all recruits to be hospitalized in 1958
50-80% attack rate
Risk factors:
Stresses of training
Environmental factors
Mixing of susceptible young adults in close contact settings
12. Adenovirus: Military Significance
13. Adenovirus: Military Significance
14. Adenovirus: Military Significance
15. Adenovirus: Impact of Vaccination Oral, live attenuated Ad4/Ad7 vaccine Major difference by center (Ft. Dix 16.7 cases/100 recruits vs. Ft. Polk 2.3 cases/100 recruits)Major difference by center (Ft. Dix 16.7 cases/100 recruits vs. Ft. Polk 2.3 cases/100 recruits)
16. Adenovirus: Impact of Vaccination
17. Adenovirus: Impact of Vaccination Trend toward more cases of adenoviral respiratory infections
3 cases/1000 recruits/wk 1998 & 1999
6/1000 recruits/wk in 2000 & 2001
2 fatal cases/year
Epidemic adenoviral outbreaks in military basic training camps each yr
22,800 illness in 2000
18. Clinical Syndrome
19. Adenovirus: Clinical Presentation Common Manifestations
Upper respiratory tract infections
Conjunctivitis
Gastroenteritis
Hemorrhagic cystitis
Rare manifestations/complications
Pneumonia
Hepatitis
Nephritis
Meningoencephalitis
20. Adenovirus: Clinical Presentation Presenting symptoms:
Fever (typically =102°F)
Nasal congestion (96%)
Sore throat (71%)
Cough (68%)
Gastrointestinal disturbances (46%)
Risk factors for infection:
Autumn recruitment
Home state: Kansas and New Mexico
Smoking +
21. Adenovirus: Clinical Presentation 3 days of reduced activity
10 days of respiratory disease
50% seek medical care
20% are hospitalized; of those admited:1
35% 1 d – 37% 2 d
15% 3 d – 6% 4 d
7% 5 d
10% develop viral pneumonia
AdV responsible for 90% of pneumonias in military recruits
22. Diagnosis and Monitoring
23. Diagnosis & Monitoring Cell culture: A549, HEK, Hep-2
Immunoflourescence
Enzyme Immunoassay
Latex Agglutination
Serology
PCR
Virus may be shed for prolonged time after recovery
24. Management Options
25. Management: Available Agents
26. Management: Vidarabine Marginal Activity In Vitro
50-200 µg/mL
Activity dependent on cell line used
Improved efficacy when combined with adenosine deaminase inhibitor
Clinically effective in the management of 2 cases of AdV-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in BMT patients2,3
27. Management: ddC
28. Management: ddC
29. Management: Mycofenolate In vitro data of activity vs. adenovirus
No clinical data
31. Management: Ganciclovir Effective therapy for adenovirus-induced hemorrhagic cystitis
Valganciclovir study:
No difference in frequency or level of viral replication in treated vs. untreated patients
32. Management: Ribavirin (Virazole) Guanosine analogue
Both the base and the D-ribose sugar are necessary for antiviral activity
Virustatic
Parts of its antiviral efficacy through immunomodulatory mechanisms
Oral, IV, and inhaled formulations
Adverse Events
Anemia
Teratogen
33. Ribavirin: Clinical Studies 35 mg/kg loading dose followed by 25 mg/kg Q8° for 10 days
Bordigoni: 35 allo-HSCT
Morality
All therapies: 68.2%
Ribavirin: 76.9%
Cidofovir: 33.3%
Virus clearance: 11 d (7-35 d)
34. Ribivirin: Clinical Studies
35. Ribavirin: Conclusions IC50 is high for most isolates
Only active against subgroup C viruses in vitro
May not be clinically active in vivo
36. Management: Cidofovir (Vistide) Cytosine analogue (HPMPC)
Inhibits DNA polymerase
Virustatic
IV only; typically administered with probenecid
May be given weekly
Adverse Events
Renal failure/proteinuria

37. Cidofovir: in vivo Studies Adenovirus 4, 5,8,and 37 were used with topical CDV drops. Adenovirus 4, 5,8,and 37 were used with topical CDV drops.
38. Cidofovir: Clinical Studies
39. Cidofovir: Clinical Studies w/ PCR
40. Cidofovir: Clinical Studies w/ PCR
41. Cidofovir: Lipid Ester Formulation Ether lipid ester prodrugs of CDV result in analogs that:
Have enhanced activity
Are orally active
Have equal efficacy vs.
CMV & orthopoxviruses
as IV CDV
42. Cidofovir: Lipid Ester Formulation
43. Cidofovir: Conclusions IC50 is achievable for most isolates in vitro
Appears to be clinically active in vivo
Lipid ester formulations may be better tolerated and are orally bioavailable
44. Management: HPMPA
45. Adenovirus: Conclusions Adenovirus is a significant pathogen in the military
Could undermine the overall state of preparedness of the US military
No randomized studies of available antiviral agents
Ribavirin of questionable benefit except in serogroup C cases
Cidofovir and its lipid derivatives may be more beneficial
46. Adenovirus: Future Directions Vaccination
Highly effective in preventing disease
Under development
Clinical Studies of Available Compounds
Cidofovir shows the most promise
Ribavirin an option in group C infections
Development & testing of new agents (esp lipid esters of cidofovir)
