Human Metapneumovirus Antigen

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) ndi ya banja la Pneumoviridae, mtundu wa Metapneumovirus. Ndi kachilombo ka RNA komwe kamakhala kozungulira kozungulira kozungulira kamene kali ndi mainchesi pafupifupi 200 nm. HMPV imaphatikizapo ma genotypes awiri, A ndi B, omwe amatha kugawidwa m'magulu anayi: A1, A2, B1, ndi B2. Ma subtypes awa nthawi zambiri amazungulira nthawi imodzi, ndipo palibe kusiyana kwakukulu mu transmissibility ndi pathogenicity ya subtype iliyonse.

Matenda a hMPV nthawi zambiri amawoneka ngati matenda ofatsa, odziletsa. Komabe, odwala ena angafunike kugonekedwa m’chipatala chifukwa cha zovuta monga bronchiolitis, chibayo, kuchulukirachulukira kwa matenda osachiritsika a m’mapapo a m’mapapo (COPD), komanso kuchulukirachulukira kwa mphumu ya bronchial. Odwala omwe ali ndi immunocompromised amatha kukhala ndi chibayo choopsa, matenda opumira kwambiri (ARDS) kapena kufooka kwa ziwalo zingapo, ngakhale kufa.
