How is the Severity of Adenovirus Infections Assessed?
The severity of an adenovirus infection is typically assessed based on the symptoms and the affected organs. Laboratory tests such as PCR can confirm the presence of viral DNA. In toxicology, understanding the dose-response relationship is crucial; this involves determining the viral load that can cause adverse effects. This helps in assessing the risks associated with exposure to adenoviruses, whether naturally occurring or through therapeutic applications.
