Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
All patients presented with cough, 14 had dyspnea, 11 had hypoxia, and 8 had a fever. Patients received 5 to 10 days of treatment. Nine patients (56%) had a complete clinical response after DAS181 therapy and 4 (25%) had a partial response. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

HPIV-3 patients significantly presented less dyspnea, cough, chest retractions, crackles and radiologic abnormalities than RSV patients. [scielo.br]
Pneumonia developed in 3 of the 12 patients, with pulmonary infiltrates on chest x-ray, dyspnea and hypoxia. One of the 3 patients with pneumonia had metastatic renal cell carcinoma and severe (grade 4) acute GVHD. [academic.oup.com]
In this study, patients with lower respiratory tract involvement were defined as having signs or symptoms of pulmonary infection or compromise (i.e., rales, wheezes, dyspnea, an infiltrate on chest radiography, or an alveolar-to-arterial oxygen gradient [nejm.org]
- Paroxysmal Cough
Infection was associated with symptoms of bronchiolitis or pneumonia in 5 children, paroxysmal coughing in 3 infants, apnea in 1 newborn, and aseptic meningitis in 1 child. Hospitalization was required for 8 of the 10 children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
- Irritability
Other symptoms of HPIV illness may include— sore throat, sneezing, wheezing, ear pain, irritability, and decreased appetite. If your symptoms are severe or do not improve, you should seek medical attention. [cdc.gov]
While symptoms may vary child-to-child, the most common include: runny nose redness or swelling of the eyes barky cough noisy, harsh breathing hoarse voice or cry rattling felt over the chest or back wheezing fever irritability decreased appetite vomiting [childrenshospital.org]

Apart from the isolation of a strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the sputum of the index case (case 1), which is likely due to a secondary bacterial infection, all sputum cultures from other cases were negative for respiratory pathogens. [jcm.asm.org]
Treatment
Treatment of A549 cells with α2,3 linkage-specific sialyltransferase increased infectivities of both hPIV1 and hPIV3, whereas α2,6 linkage-specific sialyltransferase treatment increased only hPIV3 infectivity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment: Most infections in adults and older children are mild and recovery takes place without treatment, unless the person is very old or has an abnormal immune system. [en.vircell.com]
Prevention and Treatment Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent HPIV infection. However, researchers are trying to develop vaccines. Also, there is no specific antiviral treatment for HPIV illness. [cdc.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis was originally reported as grave; however, a mild form of the disease has recently been described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
While not all hemorrhagic pneumonias are caused by very contagious agents, the etiology must be correctly determined in order to administer appropriate patient care. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bacterial etiologies of some of the common upper respiratory tract infections may be primary or superinfections of the original viral processes and are amenable to treatment ( Table 75–1 ). [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological Features HPIVs are spread from respiratory secretions through close contact with infected persons or contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. [gov.uk]
The epidemiologic relatedness of hPIV-3 strains was investigated by sequencing of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase and fusion protein genes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the study population and of children infected by HPIV are showed in the Table 1. [scielo.br]
Prevention
This work demonstrates the promise of mNGS for providing rapid information for infection prevention in addition to microbial detection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In outbreak and cluster settings, to prevent onward transmission, strict attention to infection control measures such as hand washing and wearing protective equipments should decrease or prevent spread of infection. [gov.uk]
Prevention and Treatment Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent HPIV infection. However, researchers are trying to develop vaccines. Also, there is no specific antiviral treatment for HPIV illness. [cdc.gov]
