*

Defined as patients with significant reduction (>1 log) of viremia after ACT (straight or transient).

Course of viremia and onset of GVHD is not evaluable for patient 1 because of death 2 days after ACT.

Patient 10 had AdV-negative blood at ACT but developed viremia thereafter with consequent re-clearance of the viral load and is therefore classified as responder with final clearance of viremia.

§

Patients with viremia-negative blood at ACT who showed clearance of AdV at other sites of infection (stool, urine, or nasopharyngeal fluid).

||

Defined as patients with persistent or increasing viral loads or with negative viremia at ACT and without virus clearance at other sites of infection.
