  1. The main clinical manifestations of HAdV-positive children were diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and fever. Differences of clinical manifestations between HAdV-positive children and HAdV-negative children were found by comparing frequency of diarrhea and vomiting, duration of diarrhea and vomiting, incidence of vomiting, dehydration and fever, degree of dehydration and fever. Statistical significance was defined as a P value less than 0.05
