Adenoviruses (AdVs) are non-enveloped, doublestranded DNA viruses that vary in size from 70 to 100 nm. AdV infections commonly affect infants and children aged around 5 months to 6 years [1]. They are common pathogens of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, urethral canal and eyes characterised by self-limiting infection although fatal infections can occur in the immuno-compromised and occasionally in healthy children and adults [2].
