Human Metapneumovirus and Severity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We screened 23 children with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease and 23 children with mild RSV disease for human metapneumovirus (HMPV). Although HMPV was circulating in Connecticut, none of the 46 RSV-infected patients tested positive for ...

Global Genetic Diversity of Human Metapneumovirus Fusion Gene [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We analyzed 64 human metapneumovirus strains from eight countries. Phylogenetic analysis identified two groups (A and B, amino acid identity 93%–96%) and four subgroups.

Severe respiratory failure due to co-infection with human metapneumovirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2014
A 64-year-old male patient was admitted with respiratory failure, although chest X-rays revealed only mild bronchiolitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae, which usually presents as massive lobular pneumonia, was isolated from sputum, however, pan-pathogen ...

A Mechanistic Viral Host Perturbation Score (VHPS) Reveals Shared and Virus‐Specific Transcriptional Programs Across Human Respiratory Infections

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Acute viral infections trigger overlapping but virus‐specific blood transcriptional responses; however, current analyses rarely quantify the mechanistic depth of activation across pathways, regulators, and immune cell compositions. Methods RNA‐seq data from GSE157240 were reanalyzed to infer transcription factor (TF) activity using ...

Respiratory Failure Secondary to Human Metapneumovirus Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in a 32-Month-Old Child

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2012
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a common virus that can cause respiratory problems ranging from mild upper respiratory tract disease to respiratory failure requiring mechanical support.

Outcomes After Respiratory Virus Detection Prior to Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Respiratory viral infections are associated with increased pulmonary morbidity in immunocompromised populations. It is not known whether pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients who test positive for respiratory viruses prior to transplant have increased risk of adverse pulmonary outcomes.

Human Metapneumovirus, Australia, 2001–2004

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
We examined 10,025 respiratory samples collected for 4 years (2001–2004) and found a 7.1% average annual incidence of human metapneumovirus. The epidemic peak of infection was late winter to spring, and genotyping showed a change in predominant viral ...

Histidine Supplementation Stabilizes Hearing and Vision and Improves Growth in HARS1‐Related Autosomal Recessive Disorder Associated With Usher‐Like Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 10, Page 2289-2308, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive HARS1‐related disorder (originally described as Usher syndrome type 3B) caused by a homozygous Y454S variant in the histidyl‐tRNA synthetase gene (HARS1) is characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing and vision loss and respiratory deterioration with risk for sudden death following febrile illnesses.

SARS‐CoV‐2, Influenza Virus, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Coinfections Among Symptomatic Outpatients in Lorestan Province, Iran: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pathogenic viruses represent a principal etiology of acute respiratory tract disease. Concurrent detection of multiple respiratory pathogens has been associated with diagnostic challenges, therapeutic complications, and unfavorable outcomes in patients with COVID‐19. This investigation aimed to characterize the frequency of

Cytomegalovirus in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid: A Predictor of Outcome in Immunocompromised Patients

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent herpesvirus that remains typically asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals but can cause severe, potentially life‐threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. This study assessed the impact of CMV‐associated lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...
