During the 2001-2002 season, we conducted a collaborative study with four provincial public health laborato...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiological investigation of a nosocomial outbreak of human metapneumovirus infection in a pediatric hemato-oncology patient population.
We report the first nosocomial outbreak of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infection in a pediatric patient population. Among 15 pediatric hMPV infections from March to May 2007, there was a nosocomial outbreak involving two patients sharing a room in a hemato-oncology ward with a patient with a community-acquired case of hMPV infection.

The four subgroups of HMPV occur with year-to-year variability, and infection with one subgroup confers some ser...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus in Adults
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a relative newly described virus. It was first isolated in 2001 and currently appears to be one of the most significant and common human viral infections. Retrospective serologic studies demonstrated the presence of HMPV antibodies in humans more than 50 years earlier. Although the virus was primarily known as causative agent of respiratory tract infections in ch...
متن کاملPopulation-based incidence of human metapneumovirus infection among hospitalized children.
