To determine the principal cause of the outbreak, direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification followed by sequence analysis targeting parts of the hexon gene of HAdV was performed. Serotypes of 1,007 PCR‐diagnosed HAdV‐positive samples from patients with an acute upper respiratory tract illness were determined and epidemiological characteristics including major aged group and clinical symptoms were analyzed. Epidemiological and molecular data presented in this study confirmed that the outbreak in 2010 was not associated with genetic alterations causing a change in the pathology of the major causative agent, HAdV-3, nor with multiple infections with other respiratory viruses. ./cache/cord-343074-dsubeaso.txt ./txt/cord-343074-dsubeaso.txt
