Laboratory examinations of patients with adenovirus pneumonia based on the presence or absence of pleural effusion (N = 27)
| Variables | Total (n = 27) | Adenoviral pneumonia without pleural effusion (n = 15) | Adenoviral pneumonia with pleural effusion (n = 12) | P value |

| WBC count, cells/mm3 | 9674 ± 3427 | 10926.7 ± 3043.6 | 8108.3 ± 3340.8 | 0.031* |
| Platelet, 103 cells/mm3 | 236 ± 108 | 285.1 ± 108.2 | 175.8 ± 75.5 | 0.007* |

| ASC, cells/ mm3 | 6039 ± 2674 | 7083.4 ± 2370.8 | 4733.9 ± 2531.2 | 0.020* |
| ABC, cells/ mm3 | 1397 ± 912 | 1268.1 ± 903.8 | 1557.8 ± 934.7 | 0.423 |
| ALC, cells/ mm3 | 1444 ± 1064 | 1677.3 ± 1204.2 | 1152.2 ± 814.9 | 0.209 |
| CRP level, mg/L | 68.9 (38.9 , 139.5) | 62.9 (35.6 , 79.9) | 110.8 (42.0 , 247.2) | 0.082 |
Data were represented as mean ± SD and compared using two-sample t-test if data followed normal distribution; or median (IQR: 1st, 3rd quartiles) and compared using the Mann-Whitney U test if data didn’t follow normal distribution
ANC absolute neutrophil counts, ABC absolute band form cell counts, ASC absolute segment cell counts, ALC absolute lymphocyte counts
* p < 0.05, indicates a significant difference between patients with and without pleural effusion
