Temporal distribution of acute febrile respiratory illness from human adenovirus (HAdV) infection among soldiers (no. cases) and overall HAdV positivity rate among collected specimens, by HAdV type, South Korea, January 2013–April 2014. We observed HAdV respiratory infection primarily during winter and spring. In 2014, acute febrile respiratory illness in soldiers in South Korea was almost always associated with HAdV-55. Co-circulation of HAdV-55 and HAdV-4 occurred during spring and early summe
