A Killer Cold

By , About.com GuideDecember 27, 2007

Follow me on:

While it may seem any type of cold can be "killer", there is a new type of cold that has actually come to be known as "The Killer Cold" over the past couple of years. Adenovirus 14 has become particularly virulent and caused serious illness and even death in otherwise healthy young people.

Luckily, the virus is still extremely rare and there have not been widespread outbreaks. So what do you need to know about this killer cold? Find out about symptoms, who is at risk and how to prevent adenovirus 14.
