Prevention
To prevent healthcare-associated outbreaks of adenovirus infections, health care providers should strictly follow infection control practices, including
- contact and droplet precautions
- environmental cleaning with appropriate disinfectants
- prompt response and reporting of clusters of cases
For suspected cases of pneumonia caused by adenovirus infection, healthcare providers should follow the guidelines for preventing healthcare-associated pneumonia.
