HMPV similar to Covid-19, no need to panic: Experts

Isolation wards being set up in hospitals, ready to tackle any situation: Official

Jahangeer Ganaie

Srinagar, Jan 08 (KNO): There is no need to panic as the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is similar to Covid-19 but there is a need to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

Dr Mudasir, a Pulmonologist, told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that there is no need to panic about the HMPV, but the people must remain cautious.

He said that HMPV has been in the community for decades and around 10 per cent of the elders being admitted in the hospitals have this virus, so it is a part of community infection.

Usually illness due to HMPV remains mild and there is no specific treatment and vaccine for the virus as most of the patients don't need any treatment.

He said that symptoms of HMPV are running nose, cough, fever, wheezing and shortness of breath. He said that the people must avoid visiting crowded places, especially hospitals.

Dr Khursheed Ahmad said that HMPV is spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through direct contact with contaminated surfaces.

“The virus primarily attacks the respiratory epithelium, leading to inflammation and respiratory distress,” he said, adding that young children, elderly, immunocompromised individuals and people with pre-existing conditions like chronic respiratory or cardiovascular diseases are more vulnerable.

He said that severe complications that are rare include bronchiolitis, Pneumonia and exacerbation of Asthma or COPD that requires hospitalization.

Doctors said that preventive measures including hygiene practices, stay away from individuals showing symptoms of respiratory infections, clean frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, toys, and electronic devices, wear a mask in crowded or high-risk areas, especially during respiratory virus outbreaks, maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and get adequate sleep can reduce the risk of infection.

Meanwhile, a top health official told KNO that Jammu and Kashmir Health department has intensified efforts to meet any eventuality to address the situation in case of rising cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV).

He said that as a precautionary measure, the isolation wards are being set up across J&K to ensure preparedness and swift action.

“Our hospitals are adequately equipped with oxygen plants, intensive care units, and oxygen concentrators to manage any emergency,” official said, adding that no HMPV cases have been reported in Jammu and Kashmir so far but the department is very and prepared to meet any emergency—(KNO)
