Abstract

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a newly described virus of Paramyxoviridae family. HMPV can cause respiratory tract infections in patients of all ages but HMPV related most severe diseases are seen in infants, the elderly population, immunocompromised people or those with chronic diseases. In this paper, we present a 6.5 year-old male patient with HMPV related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who has no other risk factors excluding obesity for severe HMPV infection.

Özet

İnsan metapnömovirüs (HMPV), Paramiksovirus ailesinden yakın zamanda tanımlanmış bir virüstür. HMPV ilişkili ciddi seyirli hastalıklar daha çok süt çocuklarında, yaşlı popülasyonda, immünsüpreselerde ya da eşlik eden kronik hastalığı olanlarda görülmektedir. Makalemizde obezite dışında eşlik eden hastalığı olmayan, HMPV’ye bağlı akut respiratuar distres sendromu (ARDS) gelişen altı buçuk yaşındaki erkek olgu sunulmuştur.
