10. Treatment for Adenovirus

The adenovirus vaccine is currently available to military personnel only and, unfortunately, there is no specific treatment for the condition. In mild cases, the virus will run its course over a few days or a week. However, people with weakened immune systems may experience more severe symptoms that last a week or longer. Many healthcare providers will treat the symptoms the particular strain of the virus causes. For bronchitis, they may prescribe antibiotics and cough medication. Similarly, doctors can prescribe medications to alleviate other urinary tract infections and conjunctivitis. If severe symptoms occur, such as pneumonia, the individual may require hospitalization.
