The HMPV RT-qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Human metapneumovirus detection by using qPCR. Human metapneumovirus is an enveloped, negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the family Pneumoviridae. It is an etiologic agent of acute respiratory infections of the upper and lower tracts, most commonly affecting infants, but also the elderly and immunocompromised. Human metapneumovirus is considered the second most common cause of acute respiratory tract illness, after Human respiratory syncytial virus and is responsible for 5-15% of infant hospitalisations. Clinical symptoms commonly associated with Human metapneumovirus include cough, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath, and may progress to bronchitis or pneumonia. Like other respiratory viruses, Human metapneumovirus is spread by airborne particles from one person to another. It was first identified in the Netherlands in 2001 and is spread worldwide.
