Respiratory 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. METHODS We performed a retrospective evaluation of pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed hMPV infections and underlying hematologic malignancy, solid tumors, solid organ transplant, rheumatologic disease, and/or receipt of chronic immunosu...
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 کاملDetection of Human Metapneumovirus in Hospitalized Children with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Sulaimani Province, Iraq
hMPV appears to have respiratory epithelium tropism [4]. The symptoms of both upper and lower respiratory tract disease have been associated with hMPV infections in infants, young children, elderly, and immunocompromized patients. However, at the age of five years, virtually every individual has experienced at least one hMPV infection [5-7]. In young hospitalized children, the clinical features...
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 کاملRole 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...
