Viral Infections: Morphological Diagnosis of Viral Infections
multiple cells positive for adenovirus.
TERMINOLOGY
Abbreviations
Adenovirus [serovar #] = Ad#
Example: Adenovirus serovar 7 = Ad7
Synonyms
The common "cold" (accounts for only 5%)
Definitions
"Adenovirus" derived from "adeno" (for adenoids where 1st isolated)
ETIOLOGY/PATHOGENESIS
Infectious Agents
Adenoviridae family: Nonenveloped icosahedral DNA viruses present in most vertebrates
Ubiquitous virus able to infect many cell types
Commonly found in respiratory tract and stool of children
Initial infection
Enters epithelial cell
Replicates through entire lytic cycle
Produces cytolysis
inflammatory response (depending on patient)
Chronic infection
Unknown process occurring in various lymphoidal tissues
Oncogenic in animal models but not, to date, in humans
Common tool for vaccine vectors with well­characterized genome
Widespread use in developing novel cancer therapies using adenovirus as vectors
I
Abnormal nuclei (smudged to Cowdry-like) are shown adjacent to necrotic liver with no inflammation (fulminant adenovirus hepatitis), resulting in death in an immunosuppressed patient.
CLINICAL ISSUES
Epidemiology
Ubiquitous viral family affecting all age groups
Most adults have seropositivity to several serotypes
Immunocompetent individuals have mild, limited disease
Site
Conjunctivitis &/or tonsillitis (Ad3, 4, 7)
Bronchiolitis &/or pneumonia
Laryngotracheobronchitis (Ad1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 14)
Myocarditis (chronic leading to cardiomyopathy)
Gastroenteritis, colitis, appendicitis
Hepatitis (Ad1, 2, 5): Fulminant, similar to herpesvirus
Meningitis/encephalitis
Nephritis, hemorrhagic cystitis (rare)
Presentation
A range of clinical infections (mild to life threatening)
Primary infection (2-14 days incubation) or reactivation of latency
Immunocompromised (all age groups) at highest risk
Mortality 50-80% in immunosuppressed children
Mortality up to 70% in immunosuppressed adults
Solid organ and bone marrow transplant recipients
Meningoencephalitis and pneumonitis increase risk in immunocompetent population
Laboratory Tests
Serology
Challenging to interpret unless serovar matched to symptoms
Culture from direct tissue sample > blood
Antigen detection: Stool for enteric (Ad40, Ad41)
Direct fluorescence antigen detection &/or PCR on nasal swabs
PCR on CSF or stool

ADENOVIRUS INFECTION
Etiology
Commonly found in respiratory tract and stools of children
Clinical Issues
Severe, life-threatening disease in immunosuppressed
High mortality in all age groups with immunosuppression (regardless of site of infection)
Solid organ, bone marrow transplant = high suspicion
New-onset severe disease in immunosuppressed should be rushed
Hepatitis (Ad1, 2, 5): Fulminant, similar to herpesvirus
Microscopic Pathology
Suspicious "viral cytopathic effect" should warrant immunohistochemistry
Key Facts
Morphological confirmation = intravenous treatment
Classically, glassy nucleus to smudged appearance
Ancillary Tests
Direct culture of tissue specimen
Immunohistochemistry
Molecular testing of tissue specimen
Top Differential Diagnoses
Herpesvirus family (all sites)
Polyomavirus (in CNS and kidney/bladder)
Diagnostic Checklist
Necrosis = fulminant disease
Low threshold for ordering confirmatory test (IHC or PCR)
Immunohistochemistry, PCR, &/or culture confirm diagnosis
Viral Infections: Morphological Diagnosis of Viral Infections
Natural History
Self-limited (immunocompetent)
Severe (immunosuppressed)
Treatment
Most commonly mild, self-limited disease
Severe disease = intravenous antivirals
Ribavirin, cidofovir
No randomized clinical trials to date (compassionate use in diagnosis-proven disease)
Prognosis
Most serovars: Self-limited infection
Adenovirus serotype 14: < 1% mortality
Immunocompromised hosts
Highest mortality group
Serovar specificity to site of infection
Rising viral load = risk of severe disease
MICROBIOLOGY
Virus Features

MICROSCOPIC PATHOLOGY
Histologic Features

Selected specific tissue patterns of injury (in addition to viral cytopathic effect)
Central nervous system
Minimal inflammation to perivascular cuffing and
increased cellularity Necrosis is not usually a feature

Direct visualization of virus proteins
Should always be considered in concert with herpesviruses without prior diagnosis
Example A: Patient with known adenovirus culture or PCR positive = single IHC for adenovirus
Example B: Patient with new respiratory illness and suspicious viral cytopathic effects on biopsy = panel of adenovirus plus herpesvirus

ADENOVIRUS INFECTION
Immunofluorescence
For adenovirus antigen(s)
Direct visualization of virus proteins
Performed on clinical nasal swabs (direct) for rapid diagnosis
Performed on fresh frozen or FFPE tissue sections for confirmatory diagnosis
In Situ Hybridization
Specific DNA probes for adenovirus target(s)
Available in reference laboratories
Should be used with caution due to ubiquitous nature of virus
PCR
Molecular detection of adenoviral DNA or RNA
Most commonly used for enteric infection &/or CNS infection
Broad panels available for screening &/or diagnosis
Qualitative or quantitative
Viral Infections: Morphological Diagnosis of Viral Infections
Directly on tissue sample, fluid, or blood
Available via reference laboratories
Should be used with caution due to ubiquitous nature of virus
Electron Microscopy
Transmission
Demonstration of icosahedral particles consistent with adenovirus
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Bacterial Infection (Lung and Liver)
Destructive, necrotic lesions
Demonstration of bacteria on Gram or silver staining
Positive culture of bacteria from sample
Diffuse Alveolar Damage (Lung)
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Any condition leading to DAD can mimic adenoviral infection (and vice versa)
Reactive, degenerative cells may be suspicious for viral cytopathic effect
Clinical history, culture, and immunohistochemistry can exclude DAD of other causes
DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST
Clinically Relevant Pathologic Features
Suspected viral cytopathic effect should be thoroughly evaluated due to broad differential in immunosuppressed populations
Tissue necrosis = fulminant disease = worst prognosis
Pathologic Interpretation Pearls
In immunosuppressed, apply low threshold for suspicious "viral cytopathic effect"
Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, &/or culture confirm diagnosis
In situ hybridization and PCR are valuable but require caution for interpretation due to ubiquitous nature of virus

Immunohistochemistry for both agents is confirmatory
Other Viral Infections (All Sites)

ADENOVIRUS INFECTION
(Left) Adenovirus infection of the central nervous system is presented with neurons of the cerebral cortex showing dark blue/purple smudged nuclei, red cytoplasm, and minimal reaction or inflammation. (Right)
denovirus-infected cells are scattered throughout the cerebral cortex and spinal cord in CNS cases. Specific involvement of anterior horn cells is seen here.
(Left) A low-power view of severe pneumonia in an immunocompromised
atient with adenovirus infection demonstrates diffuse alveolar damage. At this level, the features are consistent with DAD but not specific to adenovirus. (Right) High magnification o adenovirus-induced diffuse alveolar damage shows viral cytopathic effect in several cells. As with any case of DAD, a cause may not be identified but viral cytopathic change should be carefully scrutinized.
(Left) Immunohistochemistry shows predominantly nuclear staining with adenovirus antibodies in a fulminant hepatitis. The response to adenovirus is variable (and may be only necrosis) but suspicious viral cytopathic effect should be carefully scrutinized. (Right) Immunohistochemistry for adenovirus antigens shows both nuclear and cytoplasmic staining in
neumonia with diffuse alveolar damage.
