Human metapneumovirus infection in young children hospitalized with acute respiratory tract disease: virologic and clinical features.
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an emerging virus associated with acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs) in young children. ⋯ These results provide further evidence of the importance of hMPV as a pathogen associated with ARI in young children. Involvement of hMPV/RSV coinfection in cases of pneumonia is suspected.
