Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) causes respiratory symptoms like cough, fever, and wheezing. Diagnosis involves lab tests, and treatment focuses on symptom relief. Preventative measures include hygiene and avoiding contact with infected individuals.
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a viral infection that affects the respiratory system, causing illnesses similar to cold or flu. It is common in children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may mimic other respiratory infections.
Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, and laboratory testing such as nasal swabs or PCR assays are used to detect the virus accurately.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for hMPV; care focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing complications.
Currently, no vaccine exists for hMPV, so adherence to preventive measures is essential.
Patients can connect with licensed healthcare providers on Klarity for telehealth consultations, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans. Services include virtual visits accessible from anywhere, with appointment scheduling in as little as 24 hours.
