Abstract:
Human metapneumovirus（hMPV）is an important cause of acute respiratory infections in children，especially in children with immunocompromised，which can cause severe infection and even life-threatening.The clinical manifestations of hMPV infection are difficult to distinguish from other respiratory viral infections，and the etiological testing is essential for diagnosis and treatment of hMPV infection.Timely identification of severe hMPV infection is important to improve the prognosis.No specific antiviral drugs and vaccines are available for hMPV. Routine use of antiviral drugs is not recommended. Further research is needed to provide more reliable evidence for the prevention and treatment of hMPV infection.
