Abstract
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) associated with clinical respiratory tract infection (RTI) in children was first isolated in The Netherlands. Of 120 Thai paediatric patients with RTI examined, 5 cases (4.2%) showed detectable hMPV based on N-gene-specific RT-PCR. All of them were negative for hRSV infection. Aligning the sequences with a reference strain revealed some nucleotide differences, which necessitates future investigation to evaluate clinical significance and genotype variation.Entities:
