Two Cases of HMPV Confirmed in India: Symptoms and Prevention

The Health Ministry has confirmed two cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) in India, raising awareness about this respiratory infection. First identified in 2001, HMPV is known to cause flu-like symptoms, including cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. While it can affect individuals of all ages, young children under five, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are at a significantly higher risk of severe illness.

Symptoms typically appear within a few days of exposure and can range from mild to severe. It is crucial for individuals experiencing these symptoms, especially those in high-risk groups, to seek medical attention promptly.

Preventive measures include practicing good hygiene, such as regular handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and staying home when feeling unwell. Awareness and early intervention are key to managing outbreaks and protecting vulnerable populations from the impacts of HMPV.
