Adenovirus is a virus that can cause infection in several parts of the body, including the respiratory tract, the eyes (conjunctiva), and the gastrointestinal tract. It mainly affects children, and infections occur throughout the year. Most cases recover with supportive (symptomatic) treatment, but people with weakened immunity can develop severe pneumonia, so caution is needed.2026-06-26

Pneumonia in older adults generally refers to pneumonia that occurs at age 65 or older. Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, or other organisms. More than 50% of people with pneumonia and more than 90% of people who die of pneumonia are aged 65 or older. In older adults, symptoms are often not obvious, so diagnosis is easily delayed. If you have suspected symptoms, please consult a pulmonology and allergy specialist immediately.2026-06-26
