What is HMPV
Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory virus similar to the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). It primarily causes upper and lower respiratory infections, ranging from mild cold-like symptoms to more severe conditions like pneumonia or bronchiolitis. Common symptoms include cough, fever, sore throat, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath. Severe complications are more likely in infants, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems or chronic lung conditions
