Question
### Understanding Viral Infections

#### Question: 
Which form of viral infection is described by this example?

"Adenovirus infection (a type of common cold) in which the infected person experiences a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing."

#### Options:
- ○ Persistent infection
- ○ Acute infection
- ○ Latent infection

**Explanation:**
This question aims to classify the type of viral infection based on the symptoms provided. Adenovirus is commonly known to cause symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing, which are typical during the course of a cold.

**Answer:**
- ○ Acute infection

An acute infection is characterized by rapid onset of disease, a relatively brief period of symptoms, and resolution within days or weeks. The symptoms described (runny nose, sneezing, and coughing) align with those observed in acute infections like the common cold caused by Adenovirus. This contrasts with persistent infections, which last for longer periods, and latent infections, which are dormant and can reactivate later.
