Abstract

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory tract virus identified 18 years prior to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. Both viruses cause acute respiratory failure characterised by a rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs with clinical symptoms similar to those reported for other viral respiratory lung infections. HMPV, more generally known as childhood viral infection, causes mild and self-limiting infections in the majority of adults, but clinical courses can be complicated in risky groups and associated morbidity and mortality are considerable. Moreover, adults are not regularly screened for HMPV and the prevalence of adult HMPV infections in Turkey is unknown, with previous reports in the paediatric population. This should always be kept in mind during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic, particularly when neurological complications are added to respiratory findings. In our study, two adult cases of HMPV pneumonia and encephalitis have been recorded.

Özet

İnsan metapnömovirus (HMPV), şiddetli akut solunum sendromu koronavirüs-2’den 18 yıl önce tanımlanan yeni solunum yolu virüsüdür. Bilinen diğer viral solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarına benzer klinik semptomlarla sahip olup, her iki virüs de akut solunum yetersizliğine neden olabilir. HMPV çocukluk çağı solunum yolu enfeksiyonu olarak bilinse de, yetişkinlerin çoğunda hafif ve kendini sınırlayan enfeksiyonlara neden olur, hatta riskli hastalarda klinik seyir komplike olup ciddi morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olabilir. Yetişkinler viral enfeksiyon durumunda rutin olarak HMPV için taranmadığından Türkiye’de HMPV enfeksiyonlarının prevalansı bilinmemektedir ve önceki rapor edilen olgular pediatrik popülasyonda yer almaktadır. Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 pandemisi sırasında özellikle solunum bulgularına nörolojik komplikasyonlar eklendiğinde akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu raporda HMPV pnömonisi ve ensefaliti olan iki yetişkin olguyu sunmaktayız.
