Human 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 کاملHuman metapneumovirus infections in adults: another piece of the puzzle.
BACKGROUND Each winter respiratory viruses account for a significant proportion of serious respiratory illness, including hospitalization, in older adults and those with underlying medical conditions. We describe the incidence and clinical impact of human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a newly identified virus, in adults. METHODS Infection with HMPV was identified in 3 prospectively enrolled adult c...
متن کاملHuman metapneumovirus: a new pathogen in children and adults.
In 2001, human metapneumovirus (hMPV) was discovered in young children with respiratory tract infection of unknown origin. In the two years since its discovery the dinical characteristics of this new virus have been darified. In children, especially those younger than one year of age, hMPV is responsible for 5 to 10% of respiratory tract infections requiring hospitalisation; its clinical course...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus.
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a paramyxovirus identified in 2001, is a leading cause of respiratory tract infections in both children and adults. Seroprevalence studies demonstrate that the primary infection occurs before the age of 5 years, and humans are reinfected throughout life. The four subgroups of HMPV occur with year-to-year variability, and infection with one subgroup confers some ser...
متن کاملExperimental infection of adults with recombinant wild-type human metapneumovirus.
BACKGROUND Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) causes lower respiratory tract infections in young children. rHMPV-SHs is a recombinant HMPV (rHMPV) based on a biologically derived wild-type HMPV strain. We characterized its infectivity and immunogenicity in healthy adults to determine whether it would be suitable for use as the parent virus for the development of live attenuated rHMPV vaccines. METH...
