In 2001, investigators from the Netherlands discovered a new virus associated with respiratory disease in children and designated it human metapneumovirus (hMPV) . Data suggest that hMPV has been responsible for respiratory tract infections for at least 60 years with a …

The responsible viruses include influenza, parainfluenza, human metapneumovirus, coronaviruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human rhinoviruses. This study estimated the population-based hospitalization burden of those respiratory viruses (RVs) over 4 years, from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2019, among adults≥18 years of age for ...

CONCLUSIONS The detection of human metapneumovirus in cerebrospinal fluid strongly suggests its causative role in acute encephalitis. The evolution of the clinical and radiological features provided insight into the pathogenesis of human metapneumovirus encephalitis.

This family also includes mumps, measles, respiratory syncytial viruses, human metapneumovirus, and Nipah and Hendra viruses . Structure — Parainfluenza virions are pleomorphic, range in diameter from 150 to 200 nanometers, and …

Mar 7, 2024 · INTRODUCTION. Pulmonary infections are among the most common types of tissue-invasive infections in immunocompromised individuals. The spectrum of potential pathogens known to cause pulmonary infections in immunocompromised individuals has grown with intensified and varied immunosuppressive regimens, prolonged patient survival, the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, and improved ...

BACKGROUND The inpatient and outpatient burden of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection among young children has not been well established. METHODS We conducted prospective, population-based surveillance for acute respiratory illness or fever among inpatient and outpatient children less than 5 years of age in three U.S. counties from 2003 ...

BACKGROUND Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) was identified in 2001 and is a common cause of acute respiratory illness in young children. The radiologic characteristics of laboratory-confirmed HMPV acute respiratory illness in young children have …

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an important respiratory pathogen in young children whose seasonal activity varies substantially from year to year among different populations.

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a newly recognized pathogen that like its better-known relative, human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV), appears to be ubiquitous and an important cause of respiratory disease in diverse subpopulations.

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a recently identified Paramyxovirus first isolated from hospitalized children with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI). We sought evidence of HMPV infection in patients who had visited general practitioners, had influenzalike illnesses (ILI), and had negative tests for influenza and Human respiratory ...
