Abstract

Adenovirus 3 was found associated with ten cases of infantile lower acute respiratory infection in patients aged 2–18 months. Of these, five had a fatal outcome, with severe lung damage. Restriction enzyme analysis with Bam HI, Bcl I, BgI II, Bst E II, Hind III, Sal I, Sma I, Xba I, and Xho I revealed the presence of the same genome type in all ten specimens. The genomic variant was different from those previously reported for serotype 3 and therefore was tentatively denominated 3f.

## Abstract Genome analysis was performed on 69 adenovirus isolates from pharyngeal secretions of young children hospitalized with severe lower acute respiratory disease in Santiago, Chile, between 1984 and 1986. As expected, most isolated strains belonged to subgenus B (68.1%). Among the isolates
