Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of a surgical abdomen worldwide, occurring most frequently in those age 10 to 29 years. Adenovirus (ADV) is a rare but reported cause of AA in children and a well-recognized cause of intussusception in infants and young children. Annually, about 36,000 basic military trainees (BMTs) undergo initial training at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, Texas. Before reintroduction of the ADV 4/7 vaccine in November 2011, one-third of BMTs developed an adenoviral upper respiratory tract infection (URI) during the 8.5 weeks of training. We hypothesized that ADV may be a common cause of AA in the BMT population given their young age and high incidence of adenoviral URIs. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency with which ADV, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and enterovirus were associated with AA in a population of young adults.
