Encephalitis-Associated Human Metapneumovirus Pneumonia in Adult, Australia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 Human metapneumovirus pneumonia, most commonly found in children, was diagnosed in an adult with encephalitis. This case suggests that testing for human metapneumovirus RNA in nasopharyngeal aspirate and cerebrospinal fluid samples should be considered ...

Human Metapneumovirus in Severe Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis
Emerging 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.

Infants hospitalized for Bordetella pertussis infection commonly have respiratory viral coinfections [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Whether viral coinfections cause more severe disease than Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) alone remains unclear. We compared clinical disease severity and sought clinical and demographic differences between infants with B.
