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 ...

Pneumococcal Coinfection with Human Metapneumovirus [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2006
Infection with the newly discovered human metapneumovirus (hMPV) may lead to hospitalization of children with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), although the pathogenesis thereof remains to be elucidated.This hypothesis-generating study involved a cohort of children randomized to receive 9-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine or placebo and who

Modulation of Host Immunity by the Human Metapneumovirus [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2016
SUMMARYGlobally, as a leading agent of acute respiratory tract infections in children <5 years of age and the elderly, the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) has gained considerable attention. As inferred from studies comparing vaccinated and experimentally infected mice, the acquired immune response elicited by this pathogen fails to efficiently clear ...

Prophylactic and therapeutic approaches for human metapneumovirus [PDF]

VirusDisease, 2018
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important pneumovirus which causes acute respiratory disease in human beings. The viral infection leads to mild to severe respiratory symptoms depending on the age and immune status of the infected individual. Several groups across the world are working on the development of immunogens and therapy to manage HMPV ...

Diagnosis and management of reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Medicine's clinical understanding of reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) has evolved over time. It was previously described as Mycoplasma pneumoniae‐induced rash and mucositis (MIRM), and before that as a variant of Stevens‐Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. Here, we summarize the current understanding of best practices

Cell-Mediated Responses to Human Metapneumovirus Infection

Viruses, 2020
Viruses are the most common cause of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI). Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) frequently causes viral pneumonia which can become life-threatening if the virus spreads to the lungs. Even though hMPV was only isolated in 2001,
