Understanding HMPV: Symptoms, Transmission, and Diagnosis

Kakarla Vineela

Abstract: HMPV virus is a new virus that slightly outbreak by worldwide. After 5 years the occurred of corona virus, again entry of another virus similar to that is HMPV. The symptoms are similar to that include common cold, cough, bronchitis, fever, shortness of breath, Pneumonia, upper and lower respiratory tract infections. It can be diagnosed by using RAP-PCR (RAA arbitrarily primed PCR). It was first identified in Netherlands by Bernadette G. Van den Hoogen and her colleagues. The genomic sequencing of HMPV is closely related to the AMPV (Avian metapneumovirus). It was affected by all aged group persons. And easy rapid development in weak immune system persons. HMPV has been shown to circulate mostly during winter and early spring seasons, due to its favourable temperature for the growth of bacteria and easy transmission from one person to another. It should be transmitted by close contact with the secretions of infected persons.
