© 2008 Japan Pediatric Society Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) was recently discovered in 2001 in Holland. This agent causes acute respiratory tract infections in children and adults. 1 The range of clinical manifestations varies from asymptomatic infection to severe pneumonia and acute respiratory failure. 1 – 3 When this agent coexists with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in bronchiolitis, symptoms are more severe. 4 Williams et al. found, in more than 25 years of investigation, that 12% of lower respiratory tract infections in children was caused by hMPV. 2
