Human Metapneumovirus Infection among Children, Bangladesh

Year: 2007

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: We confirmed circulation of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) among children with febrile and respiratory illness in an urban slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, during active surveillance in 2001. HMPV was the most common single virus identified among febrile children and appears to contribute to the high rates of illness in this population.
