Touch to Air: The Transmission Pathway of HMPV -Wellsun Medicty Hospital
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory virus that causes lung and airway infections. It can lead to symptoms similar to the common cold, flu, or more severe respiratory conditions like bronchitis or pneumonia.
HMPV,or Human Metapneumovirus, is a contagious virus that primarily impacts the respiratory system. It spreads mainly through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking, as well as through contact with contaminated surfaces and, to a lesser extent, airborne transmission. The virus is contagious 1-2 days before symptom onset and can remain so for up to 7-10 days afterward. While it can affect individuals of all ages, older adults, young children, and immunocompromised individuals are at increased risk for severe illness.
