"Young" Human Metapneumovirus
Human metaphoresis virusīŧHuman metapneumovirusīŧHMPVīŧIt's a common virus that causes acute respiratory infections.
Compared with traditional respiratory infection viruses such as influenza, human metapulmonary virus is relatively "young," and its discovery time is late. In 2001, the virus was first detected in nasopharyngeal aspirates from children with respiratory tract infections caused by an unknown causative agent.
Although discovered late, serological studies have shown that it has existed in humans for more than 60 years and is distributed throughout the world.
Human metaphoresis virus
Are the symptoms similar to the flu?

Human metaphoresis virusHow to spread?
Human metapneumovirus is similar to most respiratory viruses and is transmitted mainly by:

# Contact Spread:Close contact with a person infected with HMP virus, or contact with contaminated objects (such as door handles, mobile phones, toys, etc.), and then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, causing the virus to enter the body.
It should be noted that the immune protection time of human metapneumovirus is short, which means that people may be repeatedly infected. The virus poses a particular threat to children and is one of the leading causes of acute respiratory infections in children under 5 years of age.

2. Mild infections:For most people, HMPV infection presents as a self-limited disease, with gradual resolution of symptoms in most people around 1 week;
3. Severe infections:Human metapneumovirus may cause serious lower respiratory tract infections in the following high risk groups:
01
Children under 5 years of age:May lead to bronchiolitis or severe pneumonia;
02
Older persons:May cause lung infection or asthma exacerbation;
03
People with low immunity:For example, people who receive organ transplants and hematopoietic stem cell transplants may develop severe lung inflammation after infection.
