Two cases of HMPV have been detected in Karnataka. One more has been detected in Gujarat. All three infants below the age of 10 months. There are plenty of questions about this virus. So here’s a quick understanding of HMPV.

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a common respiratory virus causing cold-like symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, and fever.

Consult a medical professional immediately if you experience breathlessness, fast breathing, wheezing, high fever or signs of dehydration.
HMPV spreads through direct contact with someone who has it or from touching things contaminated with the virus.

Most cases are mild, but it can lead to serious complications like pneumonia in vulnerable groups, including young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems like people with asthma, COPD, or suppressed immunity.

HMPV infections are more common in the winter and early spring.

Most people get HMPV before they turn 5. You can get HMPV again, but symptoms are usually mild after your first infection. Currently, there is no vaccination to prevent HMPV.

What can you do to stay safe?
Wash hands frequently.
Cover coughs/sneezes with your elbow.
Avoid contact with sick individuals.
Wear masks in crowded places.
