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 ...

respiratory syncytial virus in those aged 0 to 4 years has shown an upward trend recently, and the positive rate of HMPV in cases aged 14 and below has also shown an upward trend," he said.

Diagnostic tests for HMPV are typically included in routine RT-PCR or multiplex PCR panels for respiratory viruses. Unlike post-Covid infections, HMPV does not lead to severe post-infection ...
