there are questions tonight about a possible link between colds and childhood obesity. any study shows that children infected by the adina virus 36 were, on average, 35 pounds heavier than children who were not infected. steve luke from our san diego station has the story. >> it does look like this virus, in fact, could be a cause or contributor to obesity. >> reporter: the testing is expensive and labor intensive, which is why children who contract ad 36 would never know it but after studying 124 kids ages 4 to 18, uc san diego researchers found eye-opening results. >> those who had the 36 infection weighed on average 35 pounds more than obese children who had not had this infection. >> reporter: 19 kids tested positive for the virus' anti-bodies, 15 were obese, dr. jeffrey shah womener and chief officer says ad 36 starts off as

a cold but moves in on fat cells, increasing their numbers and the amount of fat each cell is capable of storing. >> some children that we will see in the clinic where they had a very large weight gain in a year or so, for reasons that can't be pinpointed. >> reporter: but dr. schwimmer says childhood obesity is complex with a number of factors to consider. they still don't know how much of a contributor the virus is to obesity. >> the collective data suggests that this could be a factor. if it turns out to be a large contributor, the element of vaccine could be worthwhile. >> the study shows one in four obese children tested positive for the virus, 3 1/2 times the rate for nonobese children. well, we had a mixed bag of weather over the weekend. now it is going to warm up, so, summer is coming, huh? >> eventually, yes.
