Abstract
Adenovirus infections are common and self-limiting in young children except those with compromised cellular immunity. However, serious adenovirus infections are rare in children with acute leukemia. We report a rare case of a toddler with acute myeloid leukemia who developed a disseminated adenoviral infection complicated by hemorrhagic enterocolitis and septic shock that led to a fatal outcome.
