A University of Maryland student has died following complications stemming from an adenovirus infection, which in extreme cases can be deadly.

Olivia Paregol, an 18-year-old freshman at the university, died on Sunday, Nov. 18, from adenovirus-related complications, according to school officials cited by ABC News. Adenoviruses typically have mild symptoms, such as sore throat, but for people with compromised immunity, they can cause pneumonia or other complications and be fatal.
