摘要近几年来，由人腺病毒7型（ HADV-7）引起的呼吸道感染性疾病及由此引发的公共卫生事件呈上升趋势，尤其在亚洲地区，HADV-7引起的暴发疫情占全球60％以上，给人民健康带来了很大影响。本文从HADV生物学特性及分型、HADV-7引起感染的流行病学特征、临床诊断及鉴别诊断、实验室检查等相关研究进展角度进行述评，为有效防控HADV-7疫情发生及提高实验室诊断水平提供参考。（中华检验医学杂志，2017，40：4-6）

abstractsIn recent years , respiratory tract infectious diseases and public health events caused by human adenovirus type 7(HADV-7) had been rising.Especially in Asia, the outbreaks of acute respiratory illness caused by HADV-7, accounting for more than 60%in the world, had brought great influence to the public health.In order to prevent the occurrence of HADV-7 epidemic and improve the diagnostic performance of laboratory , the research progress of HADV biological features and typing , HADV-7 epidemiological characteristics , clinical and differential diagnosis and laboratory examination methodologies were reviewed in this paper.
