Metapneumovirus and acute wheezing in children [PDF]

The Lancet, 2002
A new respiratory virus, human metapneumovirus, was recently identified. We detected this virus by PCR in ten (8%) of 132 consecutive children admitted to Turku Hospital, Finland, for acute expiratory wheezing (median age 7 months, range 4-25). The mean duration of hospital stay was 2.5 days (SD 1.6) and mean duration of respiratory symptoms was 19 ...

Probenecid Inhibits Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Replication In Vitro and in BALB/c Mice

Viruses
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important cause of acute respiratory tract infection and causes significant morbidity and mortality. There is no specific antiviral drug to treat HMPV or vaccine to prevent HMPV.

Human Metapneumovirus Infections in Children

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infections in hospitalized children, but the age-related incidence and effect of hMPV in unselected children in the community have not been evaluated. We studied a cohort of 1,338 children

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 ...

Hierarchical clustering of clinical and flow cytometry parameters is associated with deterioration in patients with community‐acquired pneumonia in the emergency department: A preliminary study

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anticipating the evolution of septic patients with community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is challenging for front‐line physicians in the Emergency Department (ED). Prognosis depends mainly on early identification, antibiotics, organ support, but also immune status.

Establishment and application of a quadruple real-time RT-PCR for detecting avian metapneumovirus.

PLoS ONE, 2022
In order to develop an appropriate method for high-throughput detection of avian metapneumovirus, a quadruple real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction assay was established with four pairs of specific primers and four specific probes ...

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

Utility of BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia Panel Plus in a High‐Risk Cohort: Children Post Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary complications due to infection contribute significantly to post‐haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) morbidity and mortality. Standard microbiological investigations, when performed on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, can take days to weeks to confirm a diagnosis.
