Anyone tested for Adenovirus?

Has anyone tested for adenovirus?

If so, what were the results?

This is something I have yet to test for. But adenovirus comes up a lot for me when I'm researching my symptoms and conditions.

I've never come across adenovirus being connected to ME/CFS, either in studies, or from personal anecdotal accounts.

Interestingly though, adenovirus 36 has been linked to obesity, and some researchers suggest adenovirus 36 might be a factor in the global obesity epidemic that began in the 1980s.

When you experimentally infect mice with adenovirus 36, they become obese. And in humans, adenovirus 36 is found in 30% of obese people, but only in 11% of non-obese people.

When you experimentally infect mice

Which I am prone to do...

I've never come across adenovirus being connected to ME/CFS, either in studies, or from personal anecdotal accounts.

Me neither, which is why I've been hesitant to mention it before, or consider it.

My (symptoms/conditions) Timeline spreadsheet I've been working on for so long is still incomplete. I want to map out when I got which infection, what led to what, etc.

Though, I am fairly confident that my enterovirus led to full-blown ME/CFS...

But there are still question marks. I've had multiple issues pointing to possible Adenovirus....

Conjunctivitis in Right Eye
Adenovirus is #1 cause

5+ days nasal mucosa hyperemia, pharynx erythema, cough, congestion
^^Can be adenovirus, EBV, Enterovirus, HSV

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Adenovirus, EBV, Streptococcus, enterovirus

Sinusitis
Adenovirus, enterovirus, others

Hashimoto's
Adenovirus has been seen in Hashimoto's as well

By the way, anyone interested in how different viruses can cause Hashimoto's Thyroiditis may find the following review interesting:

One Ukrainian immunologist tests everyone for adenovirus in blood (among other viruses), but I think he does it just based on his personal interest to see in what percentage of his patents it's present, I tested negative.

That's a good one. I need to revisit this, thx!

Here's some on specific infections with case/control:

• coxsackie A, B, echovirus
  • 11% vs. 0% (Hashimoto to control) enterovirus RNA in thyroid tissue
• EBV
  • High prevalence of EBV infection in Hashimoto
  • 33% vs 7% (Hashimoto to controls) active EBV infection
  • 2 of 35 (6%) , 7 of 22 (32%), positive EA-D, autoimmune thyroiditis
• HHV-6
  • 38% of patients with Hashimoto’s disease had active HHV-6A infections
  • 41% to 6% (Hashimoto to Control) active HHV-6 infection in thyroid tissue
  • 56% vs. 6% (AIT patients to control) markers of active HHV-6 infection in thyroid gland tissue
  • 82% vs. 10% (Hashimoto to control) HHV-6 DNA prevalence with FNA
  • HHV-6A association w/ autoimmune thyroid disease
• HSV-1 or HSV-2
  • 72% of AITD patients w/ herpes virus DNA in thyroid tissue
• HHV-7
  • 72% of AITD patients w/ herpes virus DNA in thyroid tissue
• Parvovirus B19
  • 86% vs 25% (Thyroid cancer vs. control) Parvovirus B19 DNA found in thyroid tissue
• HTLV-1
  • 1 of 2 Hashimoto’s patients HTLV-1 in thyroid tissue
• Yersinia enterocolitica
  • 28% vs. 2% Hashimoto patients
• H. Pylori
  • 86% vs. 40% (autoimmune thyroid patients vs other types of thyroid patients)
  • Dr. Martin Rutherford says H. Pylori he sees the most in Hashimoto
  • 57% vs 22% Hashimoto

Do you know of any research he's published? I'd be interested to see.

I'm getting Adenovirus tested VERY soon!

I know he was publishing quite a bit in ukrainianan (nothing about adenovirus), but not much in English, I tried pubmed search with his name in author section. Wouldn't hold much interest in him as he's motivated more by paycheck than the health of his patents
