RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Adenoviruses (AdV) are non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses with multiple serotypes, which cause a variety of end-organ disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Some adenoviruses can become latent in the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (e.g. adenoids and tonsils), with the potential to reactivate sporadically, leading to upper or lower respiratory tract infection and disease. Bronchiolitis Obliterans (BO) is a rare chronic lung disorder which usually follows a severe insult to the respiratory tract. In children, it is a complication of severe infections (as post-infectious BO), typically manifesting after a severe respiratory infection, in previously healthy pre-school children. Symptoms and signs of air trapping (hyperinflated chest, expiratory wheeze) with persistent oxygen requirement are characteristic. The presence of the unusual mosaic tetrasomy 9p genotype in this case, despite standard cidofovir therapy for persistent or chronic adenovirus infection, may have impacted on the child's long-term clinical outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of persistent AdV B3 infection in a 14-month old boy with mosaic tetrasomy 9p, which persisted for 10 weeks, resulting in radiologically-confirmed BO, requiring cidofovir to control the persistent AdV B3 infection and standard therapy with pulsed steroids. We argue that in the presence of the mosaic tetrasomy 9p, earlier antiviral therapy may have decreased the severity of BO, as this mutation is known to be associated with some degree of immune dysregulation. CONCLUSIONS: Adenovirus infections are common in children and may persist as latent infections, with subsequent reactivations during loss of immune control, related to systemic illness arising from other causes. In chronic, reactivated AdV infection with pneumonia, BO is a recognised complication. However, in this case, with the presence of the mosaic tetrasomy 9p mutation, earlier antiviral therapy may have reduced such longer term complications, due to the immune dysregulatory nature of this mutation.
