Symptoms of human metapneumovirus

HMPV symptoms are similar to those of other respiratory infections. Common signs include:

  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Sore throat
  • Shortness of breath
  • Wheezing
  • Fatigue

In most healthy individuals, symptoms are mild and resolve in about 7 to 10 days. However, more severe illness can occur in infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. These cases may develop into bronchitis or pneumonia. Monitor your symptoms carefully and contact a provider if they worsen or persist.

How is human metapneumovirus diagnosed?

Diagnosing HMPV involves a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory testing:

Clinical assessment

Healthcare providers begin by reviewing symptoms such as cough, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath, which are common in HMPV infections.

Laboratory tests:

  • Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR): This is the gold standard for detecting HMPV, as it identifies viral RNA with high sensitivity and specificity.
  • Rapid Antigen Tests: These tests detect viral proteins and can provide quicker results, though they may be less sensitive than RT-PCR.

Imaging studies

In cases where pneumonia is suspected, a chest X-ray may be performed to assess lung involvement.

Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for managing symptoms effectively and preventing complications, especially in vulnerable populations.

Human metapneumovirus treatment options

There are no FDA-approved antiviral medications for HMPV. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting recovery:

For mild cases:

  • Rest and hydration to support the immune system
  • Over-the-counter medications, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to reduce fever and discomfort

For moderate to severe illness:

  • Oxygen therapy for patients with low blood oxygen
  • IV fluids to prevent dehydration when oral intake is inadequate

For high-risk patients:

  • Hospitalization may be necessary if symptoms are severe
  • Mechanical ventilation could be used in life-threatening cases to support breathing

Talk to a licensed healthcare provider to determine the best approach for your situation.

Commonly prescribed medications for human metapneumovirus

While no antiviral medications are specifically approved for HMPV, certain treatments may be used to manage symptoms:

  • Bronchodilators: Medications like albuterol may be prescribed to relieve wheezing and open airways.
  • Corticosteroids: In some cases, steroids such as prednisone may be used to reduce inflammation, though their effectiveness for HMPV is not well-established.
  • Antibiotics: Not effective against viral infections like HMPV, but may be prescribed if a bacterial co-infection is suspected.

All medications should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness.
