aFever duration from onset to normothermia. bData extracted from the first test for the children on admission. cSpecific IgM antibodies against HAdV pneumoniae were detected in 2 mL of acute phase (on admission) patient serum using a commercial ELISA kit. dHAdV pneumonia DNA was detected by real-time PCR in throat swabs or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). eJudged by chest radiograph or CT scan in whole course of the patients.
