Human Metapneumovirus in Severe Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis [PDF]

open access: diamondEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect segments of the M (matrix), N (nucleoprotein), and F (fusion) genes of human metapneumovirus in bronchoalveolar fluid from 30 infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.

Human Metapneumovirus, Peru

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
We retrospectively studied 420 pharyngeal swab specimens collected from Peruvian and Argentinean patients with influenzalike illness in 2002 and 2003 for evidence of human metapneumovirus (HMPV).

Global Burden of Human Metapneumovirus: Bridging Gaps in Prevention, Diagnostics and Treatment [PDF]

open access: yesPublic Health Chall
ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory virus with a significant impact, particularly on the paediatric population, yet it remains an under‐recognized contributor to respiratory infections globally. Recent epidemics in China, India and Europe underscore its clinical burden, with severe cases linked to bronchiolitis, pneumonia and ...

Human Metapneumovirus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Brazil [PDF]

open access: diamondEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
We describe the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of 111 children attending clinics and hospitals in Aracaju, northeast Brazil, with acute respiratory infections attributable to human metapneumovirus (HMPV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or

Human Metapneumovirus Genetic Variability, South Africa [PDF]

open access: diamondEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
The molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of the human metapneumovirus (hMPV) were characterized for a 3-year period (2000–2002) from viruses that were identified in South Africa.

Seasonal Incidence of Human Metapneumovirus in High-Risk Adults With Medically Attended Acute Respiratory Illness in a Rural US Community. [PDF]

open access: yesInfluenza Other Respir Viruses
ABSTRACT Background The burden of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) among community‐dwelling high‐risk adults is understudied. We calculate the cumulative incidence of outpatient hMPV in high‐risk adults, over five consecutive winter respiratory virus seasons (2015–2016 through 2019–2020), and describe clinical characteristics of their illnesses. Methods We

Human Metapneumovirus Infection Induces Significant Changes in Small Noncoding RNA Expression in Airway Epithelial Cells

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNA), virus-derived sncRNAs, and more recently identified tRNA-derived RNA fragments, are critical to posttranscriptional control of genes.

Global burden of acute lower respiratory infection associated with human metapneumovirus in children under 5 years in 2018: a systematic review and modelling study

open access: yesThe Lancet Global Health, 2021
Summary: Background: Human metapneumovirus is a common virus associated with acute lower respiratory infections (ALRIs) in children. No global burden estimates are available for ALRIs associated with human metapneumovirus in children, and no licensed ...
