Role of metapneumovirus in viral respiratory infections in young children.
The contribution of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) relative to that of other respiratory viruses as a cause of respiratory infections in children less than 1 year old has been evaluated. From October 2003 to April 2004, nasopharyngeal samples from 211 children less than 1 year old were analyzed to detect respiratory viruses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was the predominant virus isolated (96...
متن کاملRespiratory Tract Infections Due to Human Metapneumovirus in Immunocompromised Children
BACKGROUND The clinical presentation and management of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infections in immunocompromised children is not well understood.

متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus Infections in Children
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infections in hospitalized children, but the age-related incidence and effect of hMPV in unselected children in the community have not been evaluated. We studied a cohort of 1,338 children <13 years of age throughout 1 respiratory season in Finland during 2000-2001. We examined children and obtained a nasal swab for v...
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...
متن کاملNewer respiratory virus infections: human metapneumovirus, avian influenza virus, and human coronaviruses.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recently, several previously unrecognized respiratory viral pathogens have been identified and several influenza A virus subtypes, previously known to infect poultry and wild birds, were transmitted to humans. Here we review the recent literature on these respiratory viruses. RECENT FINDINGS Human metapneumovirus has now been detected worldwide, causing severe respiratory tr...
