10 Adenovirus Symptoms
Symptom #8: Dysuria
Dysuria is a medical term that refers to difficult or painful urination (i.e. burning sensation). Cystitis is an infection of the lower urinary tract (i.e. bladder) that frequently causes dysuria, frequent urination, hematuria (blood in the urine), and more.
The most common cause of cystitis is a bacteria called Escherichia coli, but it can also be caused by a virus. Adenovirus infection can manifest as a self-limited acute hemorrhagic cystitis, that affects mostly children and teenagers (boys more than girls). However, it can also affect adults with a compromised immune system (i.e. AIDS or post-transplantation patients).
