    Abstract:
    We report a case of severe Adenovirus type 7 pleuropneumonia in an immunocompetent adult. The treatment required a mechanical ventilation with tracheostomy. The sequelae was a restrictive respiratory insufficiency. Adenovirus is a common cause of pneumonia in children, in military recruits or in immunocompromised adults. However, it is an infrequent cause of such a severe complication in a healthy adult.
