Two Cases of Diffuse Alveolar Haemorrhage Attributable to Human Metapneumovirus Infection: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
We report two cases of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage attributable to human metapneumovirus (hMPV), confirmed by PCR analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Although the precise efficacy remains uncertain, both cases showed clinical improvement following short‐term corticosteroid therapy.

Burden and Characteristics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus‐Associated Bronchiolitis in Hospitalized Infants in Italy: A Systematic Review

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review highlights the significant burden of RSV‐associated bronchiolitis in Italian infants 0‐59 months. While RSV remains the primary pathogen, co‐infections and pandemic‐related factors have altered its epidemiological trends. ABSTRACT Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of bronchiolitis in infants.

Human metapneumovirus activates NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome via its small hydrophobic protein which plays a detrimental role during infection in mice.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation triggers caspase-1 activation-induced maturation of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 and therefore is important for the development of the host defense against various RNA viral diseases.
