Genetic variability and circulation pattern of human metapneumovirus isolated in Italy over five epidemic seasons.
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an important aetiological agent of respiratory tract infection (RTI) in infants. Based on genetic differences, hMPVs are separated into two main groups, A and B, and two subgroups 1 and 2. To better understand the genetic diversity of hMPV, we analyzed 435 bp fragments of the F gene from 49 isolates obtained from a paediatric clinical centre in Northern Italy fro...
متن کاملPopulation-based incidence of human metapneumovirus infection among hospitalized children.
BACKGROUND Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory illness (ARI) in children. Population-based incidence rates and comprehensive clinical characterizations of disease have not been established. METHODS We conducted population-based prospective surveillance for 2 years in 2 US counties of HMPV infection among children <5 years old who were hospitalized with ARI or ...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus Infection among Children Hospitalized with Acute Respiratory Illness
Recent studies have associated human metapneu-movirus (HMPV) infection in children with respiratory disease of similar severity as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. We studied 668 banked swab specimens (one per admission) collected from a population-based, prospective study of acute respiratory illness among inpatient children from two U.S. cities. Specimens were tested for HMPV, RSV...
متن کاملOxidative Stress during Ovarian Torsion in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients: Changing The Perspective of The Disease
Among the different causes of gynecological acute pelvic pain, ovarian torsion represents a surgical emergency. It is a rare case in the pediatric/adolescent aged group that must be included in the differential diagnosis of any girl with abdominal pain or pelvic/abdominal mass. Current recommendations suggest that laparoscopic detorsion should be performed in order to preserve the integrity of ...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus Infections in Hospitalized Children1
We evaluated the percentage of hospitalizations for acute respiratory tract infections in children < or =3 years of age attributable to human metapneumovirus (HMPV) and other respiratory viruses in a prospective study during winter and spring 2002. We used real-time polymerase chain assays and other conventional diagnostic methods to detect HMPV, human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), and in...
