An autopsy case of adenovirus hepatitis with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is presented. A 7-month-old female was admitted to the Kitasato University Hospital with chief complaint of persistent fever. A diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) was made because of defective function in both T and B lymphocytes. Respiratory disturbance and severe hepatic dysfunction were manifested after admission. She died of respiratory failure on the 40th hospital day. Autopsy findings revealed many focal necroses scattered irregularly throughout the liver. Degenerating hepatocytes around the focal necrosis contained nuclear inclusion bodies, and crystalline arrays of adenovirus virions were recognized in these cells by electron microscopy. Adenovirus antigens were brilliantly detected in the nuclear inclusion bodies by indirect immunofluorescence.
