摘要人类偏肺病毒(HMPV)是一种新近发现的呼吸道致病病毒.HMPV感染主要发生在冬春季,各年龄阶段的人群都可受到感染,尤以儿童、老年人和免疫缺陷患者易患.世界各国报道其感染率不尽相同,感染症状可从轻微的上呼吸道病变到严重的细支气管炎和肺炎.对HMPV的检测有三种方法:病毒抗原抗体检测、病毒的细胞培养和荧光定量RT-PCR.治疗上以对症治疗为主.

abstractsHuman metapneumovirus (HMPV)is a recently discovered virus associated with respiratory tract infection. Most infections with HMPV occurred during winter and spring. Children, elderly subjects and immunosuppressed hostsare susceptible. The consequences of HMPV infections ranged from mild upper respiratory tract infection to severe bronchiolitis or pneumonia. There are three different kinds of methods for the diagnosis of HMPV infections, detection of virus antigen-antibody, virus isolation by culture, and RNA detection by reverse transcription-PCR. Symptomatic therapy is the main method of treatment.
