Human metapneumovirus in severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis

Julie Greensill et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2003 Mar.

Abstract

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect segments of the M (matrix), N (nucleoprotein), and F (fusion) genes of human metapneumovirus in bronchoalveolar fluid from 30 infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. Seventy percent of them were coinfected with metapneumovirus. Such coinfection might be a factor influencing the severity of bronchiolitis.
