ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a paramyxovirus identified in 2001, is a leading cause of respiratory tract infections in both children and adults. Seroprevalence studies demonstrate that the primary infection occurs before the age of 5 years, and humans are reinfected throughout life. The four subgroups of HMPV occur with year-to-year

Cardio-Renal Diseases Are Independent Risk Factors of Severe Human Metapneumovirus Infection Among Patients Without Chronic Airway Diseases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) causes mild and self‐limiting disease in adults. However, the risk factors for serious adverse outcomes following hMPV infection in adult patients without preexisting chronic airway diseases remain poorly understood.

A Retrospective Study Investigating Risks of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Mortality Following Human Metapneumovirus Infection in Hospitalized Adults [PDF]
Background Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a relatively recently identified respiratory virus that induces respiratory symptoms similar to those of respiratory syncytial virus infection in children. The characteristics of hMPV-infected adults are unclear
