Kinetics of AdV load in PB. The curve shows the appearance and expansion of AdV in PB. Observation of the first 10-fold increase in virus load (arrow) preceded the onset of clinical symptoms (star) by more than 3 weeks. The monitoring of AdV in PB may therefore serve as a basis for early initiation of preemptive antiviral treatment. BMT, bone marrow transplantation.
