Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) causes respiratory symptoms like cough and fever. Top providers on Klarity offer virtual diagnosis and treatment, including supportive care and medications, often within 24 hours.
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory virus similar to cold or flu, primarily affecting children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals. Proper diagnosis and management are essential for recovery.
Common symptoms include cough, fever, runny nose, wheezing, and shortness of breath. In some cases, symptoms mimic those of other respiratory illnesses, making clinical evaluation important for accurate diagnosis.
In severe cases, especially in infants and vulnerable populations, hMPV can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia requiring hospitalization.
Diagnosis involves respiratory swabs and PCR testing to detect the virus. There are no specific antiviral medications approved for hMPV, so treatment focuses on supportive care—hydration, rest, and symptom relief.
In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary for oxygen therapy and breathing support.
