Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Infection - Quick Overview

Cause:

Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a Paramyxovirus related to RSV.

Spread via respiratory droplets, direct contact, and contaminated surfaces.

Affects infants, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals most severely.

Symptoms:

Mild upper respiratory infection (like the common cold).

Severe cases: Bronchiolitis, pneumonia, wheezing, cough, fever, runny nose.

High-risk groups: Infants, elderly, and those with lung diseases or weakened immunity.

Laboratory & Diagnostic Findings:

RT-PCR (nasopharyngeal swab): Gold standard for detection.

Rapid antigen tests: Less commonly used.

Chest X-ray (severe cases): May show lung infiltrates or hyperinflation.

Treatment:

Supportive care: Oxygen therapy, fluids, and fever control.

Severe cases: Hospitalization with mechanical ventilation if needed.

Hand hygiene, mask-wearing, and avoiding contact with infected individuals.

Most cases are self-limiting, but severe infections can occur in vulnerable populations.
