Human metapneumovirus pulmonary infection
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) pulmonary infection is a recently detected condition is reported to cause mild to severe respiratory tract infection particularly in children, immunocompromised patients, and the elderly 6.
Pathology
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV), is an RNA virus and first described in 2001,. It is a common pathogen and can acute viral respiratory tract infections in all age groups.
Seropositivity for IgG against HMPV has been detected in up to 100% of persons 20 and >65 years of age, and reinfection can be common
Radiographic features
Chest x-ray
Non specific and may a variable pattern but in children according to one study 2
- parahilar / peri-bronchovascular opacities were the most commonly observed abnormality (87% of children with HMPV).
- lungs may also hyperinflated
- atelectasis (40%) and consolidation (18%) have been less frequently described.
CT
Non specific with ground-glass opacity have been most commonly reported finding and with nodular consolidation described in a lesser number of patients 3.
Involvement can often be bilateral.
