  1. Notes: 1) The total number of HAdV-B3 positive specimens is 55, but two patients with information miss on most clinical features were not described. But one thing to note that these two patients were included in this study because they had a fever over 37.3 °C and met other inclusion criteria. 2) URTI (upper respiratory tract infection); HAdV (human adenovirus)
