Comparative assessment of reported symptoms of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and human metapneumovirus infection during hospitalization and post‐discharge assessed by Respiratory Intensity and Impact Questionnaire

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, 2021
The hospitalized acute respiratory tract infection (HARTI) study used the Respiratory Intensity and Impact Questionnaire (RiiQ™) Symptom Scale, derived from FluiiQ™, to assess and compare the burden of respiratory infection symptoms for patients with ...

Human metapneumovirus in paediatric patients [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006
Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide, but the aetiology of many ARTIs is still unknown. In 2001, researchers in The Netherlands reported the discovery of a previously unidentified pathogen called human metapneumovirus (hMPV).

Discovery and Characterization of Novel RNA Viruses in Aquatic North American Wild Birds

Viruses, 2019
Wild birds are recognized viral reservoirs but our understanding about avian viral diversity is limited. We describe here three novel RNA viruses that we identified in oropharyngeal/cloacal swabs collected from wild birds.

Interprotomer disulfide-stabilized variants of the human metapneumovirus fusion glycoprotein induce high titer-neutralizing responses

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Type I fusion machines rearrange from prefusion to postfusion conformations to induce viral-cell entry, with structure-based stabilization of the metastable prefusion forms of these machines yielding promising vaccine candidates.

Viruses associated with pneumonia in adults. [PDF]

, 2012
Viral pneumonia, which is typically associated with disease in childhood, is increasingly recognized as causing problems in adults. Certain viruses, such as influenza virus, can attack fully immunocompetent adults, but many viruses take advantage of more-

Respiratory Viruses in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Viruses, 2021
Solid organ transplantation is often lifesaving, but does carry an increased risk of infection. Respiratory viral infections are one of the most prevalent infections, and are a cause of significant morbidity and mortality, especially among lung ...

Clinical impact of human metapneumovirus infections before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background The first outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in March 2020 in Europe, which is normally the peak incidence period of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infections, implying cocirculation and potentially causing competition ...

Emerging Human Metapneumovirus Gene Duplication Variants in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection, China, 2017–2019

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
We detected human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in 72 (7.1%) of 1,021 patients hospitalized with severe acute respiratory infection in Luohe, China, during 2017–2019. We detected HMPV most frequently in young children and less often in adults. HMPV genotype A2c
