Pathogenesis of adenovirus type 5 pneumonia in cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) (original) (raw)

Abstract

Cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) were inoculated intranasally with 10(2.0) to 10(10.0) PFU of human adenovirus type 5. The virus replicated to a high titer in pulmonary tissues, with the peak titer being proportional to the input dose. The 50% lethal dose was 10(9.4) PFU. Histopathologic changes were proportional to the infecting inoculum and included the infiltration of interstitial and intra-alveolar areas, moderate damage to bronchiolar epithelium, and cellular infiltration of peribronchiolar and perivascular regions. These changes could be divided into two phases: an early phase (affecting alveoli, bronchiolar epithelium, and peribronchiolar regions) with an infiltrate consisting primarily of monocytes-macrophages and neutrophils, with occasional lymphocytes, and a later phase (affecting peribronchiolar and perivascular regions) with an infiltrate consisting almost exclusively of lymphocytes. In both phases, the predominant process was the response of the host to infection, rather than direct viral damage to infected cells. An infecting inoculum of 10(8.0) PFU or larger caused severe damage to type II alveolar cells, which were swollen, showed a loss of lamellar bodies, and were surrounded by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages. No evidence of complete viral replication was found in type II alveolar cells.
