How to treat adenovirus infection

Treatment of adenoviral infections requires a combination of causes. Adenoviral infections are mainly related to disease-related factors, immunologic factors, and environmental factors. Treatment of adenovirus should be symptomatic, mainly antiviral therapy, glucocorticoid therapy and antibacterial drug therapy, and immunomodulation can be used as a supplement. 1. Antiviral therapy: Adenoviral infections usually require antiviral therapy, such as ribavirin and cidofovir. 2. Glucocorticoid therapy: Methylprednisolone can be chosen for adults, but attention must be paid to the presence of ischemic changes or secondary infections. 3. Antimicrobial drugs: If there is a combination of bacterial infection, you can choose antibacterial drugs, such as cephalosporin, azithromycin. The use of drugs need to follow the instructions of the doctor, not blindly. 4. Immunomodulatory therapy: immunocompromised and chronic smokers and drinkers are likely to increase the chances of adenovirus infection. Generally, immunomodulatory drugs can be chosen to effectively adjust the body’s immune function to alleviate the symptoms, such as thymic peptide. Glucocorticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone, can also be used to suppress the immune response. Adenovirus infection requires prompt treatment, so once diagnosed, it is recommended to select a regular hospital for treatment.
