Human 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 کاملRespiratory tract infection due to human metapneumovirus among elderly patients.
After the initial isolation of human met-apneumovirus (hMPV) from infants with respiratory tract illnesses (RTIs), a pleth-ora of studies involving the pediatric population have demonstrated that, in this population, hMPV infection accounts for 5%–25% of reported RTIs. Among infants hospitalized for RTI, hMPV is often the second most detected pathogen after human respiratory syncytial virus (hR...

متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Brazil
We describe the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of 111 children attending clinics and hospitals in Aracaju, northeast Brazil, with acute respiratory infections attributable to human metapneumovirus (HMPV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or both in May and June 2002. Fifty-three (48%) children were infected with RSV alone, 19 (17%) with HMPV alone, and 8 (7%) had RSV/HMPV co-infec...
متن کاملHuman metapneumovirus: a newly described respiratory tract pathogen.
Human metapneumovirus is an emerging human respiratory pathogen first discovered in 2001. It clinically resembles respiratory syncytial virus, can cause both upper and lower tract disease, and has been associated with serious illness in the young, among the immunosuppressed, and in the chronically ill. Cough and congestion are frequently reported, and respiratory failure may occur. Initial infe...
