--At least 1,035 Americans in four states have been infected so far this year by the virus, known as an adenovirus.--

Adenovirus - aka cold virus. But this one is a particularly nasty variant.

From Wikipedia:
Adenoviruses, of which there are over 51 different serotypes in humans, are responsible for 5–10% of upper respiratory infections in children, and many infections in adults as well.

Most infections with adenovirus result in infections of the upper respiratory tract. Adenovirus infections often show up as conjunctivitis, tonsilitis (which may look exactly like strep throat and cannot be distinguished from strep except by throat culture), an ear infection, or croup. Adenoviruses can also cause gastroenteritis (stomach flu). A combination of conjuctivitis and tonsilitis is particularly common with adenovirus infections. Some children (especially small ones) can develop adenovirus bronchiolitis or pneumonia, both of which can be severe. In babies, adenoviruses can also cause coughing fits that look almost exactly like whooping cough. Adenoviruses can also cause viral meningitis or encephalitis. Rarely, adenovirus can cause cystitis (inflammation of the urinary bladder—a form of urinary tract infection—with blood in the urine.

Most people recover from adenovirus infections by themselves, but people with immunodeficiency sometimes die of adenovirus infections, and—very rarely—even previously healthy people can die of these infections.
