摘要
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a virus that induces human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV)-like illnesses, ranging from upper respiratory tract infection to severe bronchiolitis and pneumonia. The 100 serum samples from children aged 1 month to 5 years were tested for the presence of hMPV and hRSV antibodies using an indirect immunofluorescence assay and a neutralizing-antibody assay, respectively. The seroprevalence of hMPV was significantly lower than that of hRSV in children over 4-months-old (43% vs. 60%, P < 0.025), and the difference was particularly notable between the ages of 4 months and 1 year (11% vs. 48%, P = 0.006). The results suggest that primary infection with hMPV occurs somewhat later than that with hRSV. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
