RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction)This is the gold standard for detecting HMPV. RT-PCR works by amplifying RNA sequences from respiratory samples, offering highly accurate ...

The researchers examined nasal swabs collected from January 2021 to June 2024, using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to screen for HMPV. The study highlights ...

Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is the gold standard diagnostic tool for detecting HMPV RNA, while antigen detection assays offer quicker results. In India, surveillance ...

Jamshedpur: The East Singhbhum civil surgeon Dr Sahir Pall on Thursday said that the district has sufficient RT-PCR testing kits for testing of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) and can readily begin ...

Doctors can diagnose HMPV based on symptoms and confirm it through an RT-PCR test using a nasal or throat swab. In severe cases, additional tests like chest X-rays may be required. The colder ...

Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), they screened for respiratory pathogens, including hMPV, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus. Additionally, during an ...

During hospitalization, other diagnostic evaluations included molecular testing with a multiplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) panel, which identified hMPV. No other ...

HMPV is tested by collecting a sample of mucus from the nose or throat using a swab. Similar to COVID, the sample is analysed in a lab, often with RT-PCR tests. Other methods, like antigen tests ...

The detection of two cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV ... were admitted to Sarji Hospital in Shivamogga, where their RT-PCR multiplex tests were conducted at Nanjappa Hospital.
