The article from The Times of India discusses the emergence of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) in India, as explained by former AIIMS chief Dr. Randeep Guleria. HMPV, which was first identified in 2001, is a respiratory virus that can cause symptoms similar to the common cold, including cough, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath, particularly affecting children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Dr. Guleria notes that while HMPV is not as widely recognized as other respiratory viruses like influenza or RSV, it can lead to severe respiratory infections requiring hospitalization. He advises preventive measures such as good hand hygiene, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and possibly wearing masks in crowded places. There is no specific vaccine for HMPV, but supportive care like hydration and symptom relief are recommended for treatment. Awareness and surveillance are crucial to manage and mitigate the spread of this virus.
