Clinical Infectious Diseases
Investigators at University of Alberta release new data on clinical infectious diseases
March 18th, 2008
'We prospectively collected clinical, laboratory, and radiographic data regarding community-acquired human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infection in consecutive adults hospitalized with pneumonia. hMPV infection was diagnosed using highly accurate reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of nasopharyngeal samples. Eight (4%) of 193 patients had hMPV RNA present, all detected during influenza season. hMPV is an important cause of pneumonia in adults.' This article was prepared by TB & Outbreaks Week editors from staff and other reports. Copyright 2008, TB & Outbreaks Week via NewsRx.com.
