HMPV Cases News: India has reported seven cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) infections in children, with cases being confirmed in Bengaluru, Nagpur, Tamil Nadu, and Ahmedabad.

HMPV, a common respiratory virus that causes cold-like upper respiratory tract infections, primarily affects young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, particularly during the winter months. It can pose serious risks to immunocompromised individuals.

Cases of HMPV infections have been reported in India amid the surge of respiratory illnesses in China. However, the health ministry has assured the public that the situation is under surveillance and there is no risk of a COVID-19-like outbreak.

A pandemic caused by the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is highly unlikely because of the widespread immunity developed by humans over decades of past exposure to the virus, prominent biologist Dr Shekhar Mande told News18.

The alarming visuals emerging from China, reportedly linked to HMPV, have sparked global fears, with many interpreting it as a potential resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic.
