Acute #Encephalopathy Associated with #Human #Adenovirus Type 14 Infection in 7-Year-Old Girl, #Japan
Abstract Only 2 cases of human adenovirus type 14 (HAdV-14) have been reported in Japan since 1980. We report a 7-year-old girl with acute encephalopathy associated with HAdV-14 infection genetically similar to strains from the United States . The patient had not had contact with international travelers. HAdV-14 surveillance should be strengthened in Japan.
