FAQ’s about HMPV

Common signs of HMPV include:
- A dry or wet cough
- Runny nose or nasal blockage
- Feverish feeling
- Irritated or sore throat
- Shortness of breath or wheezing in more critical conditions
Diagnosis of HMPV involves evaluating your symptoms, discussing your health background, and confirming the virus through a nasal swab test.
Most people recover from HMPV within 3 to 7 days, but in severe cases or for those with compromised immunity, recovery could take more time.
Currently, no vaccine is available for HMPV. Emphasis is placed on preventive strategies to minimise its spread.
To reduce the risk of HMPV infection:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water
- Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of illness
- Regularly disinfect high-touch areas
- Stay home if you’re feeling sick
Consult a doctor if you or a family member has:
- Persistent high fever
- Difficulty breathing or wheezing
- Dehydration signs, such as dry mouth or less frequent urination
- Symptoms that worsen or fail to improve over time
First identified in 2001, HMPV is a widespread respiratory virus causing cough, fever, and breathing difficulties in vulnerable populations.
While anyone may contract HMPV, the virus predominantly affects those with chronic conditions or compromised immunity.
The severity of HMPV depends on the person’s health; for healthy individuals, it’s usually mild, but for those with weaker immunity, it can be life-threatening.
Severe cases may require hospitalization, oxygen therapy, or respiratory support, but most recover with symptomatic care at home.
The cough caused by HMPV usually subsides in a couple of weeks but can linger longer in individuals with underlying respiratory conditions.
HMPV differs from the common cold as it can cause more serious respiratory illnesses, such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, in certain populations.
Close contact with an infected individual, such as hugging or shaking hands, can transmit HMPV.
