Human Metapneumovirus

HMPV

Consequently, it seems necessary to better characterize hMPV infections in adult inpatients: presentation, course profile and risk factors for morbidity and mortality. [clinicaltrials.gov]

The under-2 patients more frequently presented cough, rhinitis, apnoea and difficulty breathing, with statistically significant differences found ( p 0.001); meanwhile those over 2 more frequently presented seizures and fever ( p 0.005). [elsevier.es]

Children with respiratory infections frequently present to primary care. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The demographic and clinical data presented in this study improves our understanding of the pathogenesis and clinical burden of hMPV infection in adults. Voir l'article [fondation-merieux.org]

We recommend that you include samples from each age group in your clinical studies and present the data stratified by age (e.g., less than 5, 6- 21, 22-59, and greater than 60 years old) in addition to the overall data summary table. 6.G.v Presentation [fda.gov]

  • Localized Pain

    This response causes the classic symptoms of a "cold," including local pain, low-grade fever, cough, runny nose, headache and sore throat. [lung.org]

  • Shivering

    HMPV infections were associated with cough, fever/shivers and pneumonia, respectively. [journals.plos.org]

  • Hoarseness

    More severe illness, with wheezing, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, cough, pneumonia, and in adults, aggravation of asthma, also has been reported. [idph.state.il.us]

    In adult, HMPV usually causes mild disease characterised by cough, hoarseness, runny nose and sputum production. [chp.gov.hk]

    Recognizing hMPV Infants and young children infected with hMPV demonstrate signs and symptoms similar to RSV: cough, wheezing, myalgia, dyspnea, tachypnea, rhinorrhea, and pyrexia. 8 In adults, signs and symptoms include nasal congestion, cough, rhinorrhea, hoarseness [journals.lww.com]

    Laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) was defined as an acute lower respiratory tract infection characterized by hoarseness, cough, and stridor. [nejm.org]

  • Decreased Breath Sounds

    Pneumonia was defined as dyspnea in a patient with focal rales or decreased breath sounds and the presence of a focal infiltrate on the chest radiograph. [nejm.org]

  • Stridor

    Laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) was defined as an acute lower respiratory tract infection characterized by hoarseness, cough, and stridor. [nejm.org]

  • Febrile Convulsions

    Some children may also present with otitis media, diarrhoea, vomiting, rash, and febrile convulsion. In adult, HMPV usually causes mild disease characterised by cough, hoarseness, runny nose and sputum production. [chp.gov.hk]

  • Convulsions

    Some children may also present with otitis media, diarrhoea, vomiting, rash, and febrile convulsion. In adult, HMPV usually causes mild disease characterised by cough, hoarseness, runny nose and sputum production. [chp.gov.hk]

  • Stroke

    These 6 averaged 85 years of age, 4 had underlying COPD, and 1 each had coronary artery disease and prior stroke. They died between 10 and 30 days after admission, generally of respiratory failure. [jamanetwork.com]

Palivizumab (monoclonal antibody to RSV) is not effective for treatment. [msdmanuals.com]

Supportive treatment for patients varies with the severity of the illness but generally treatment consists of fever reducers, antihistamines, breathing treatments and other means of providing comfort to the patient until the illness resolves. [idph.state.il.us]

To date, no vaccine is available and treatment is supportive. However, ongoing research shows encouraging results. [mendeley.com]

Currently, treatment of hMPV-associated lower respiratory tract infections is mainly symptomatic. [clinicaltrials.gov]

The primary objective is to describe the prognosis. [clinicaltrials.gov]

The etiologic agents of bronchiolitis include adenovirus, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, and Bordetella pertussis. However, most infections are due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) ( 2 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because human metapneumovirus is a newly recognized pathogen, many clinicians are unfamiliar with the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical signs and symptoms of infection. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

Prevention and Treatment Currently, there is no specific antiviral therapy to treat HMPV and no vaccine to prevent HMPV. Medical care is supportive. [cdc.gov]
