Is there anything to worry about HMPV? What are the symptoms and remedies?
Five years after the outbreak of the coronavirus, there has been renewed concern over the rise in the number of people infected with the human metapneumovirus, or HMPV virus, in northern China,,
This comes just five years after the global pandemic of the Covid-19 virus, which killed 7 million people worldwide.
Senior Chinese officials were quoted as saying that infections among 14-year-olds and under are on the rise.
However, the country's officials have rejected the information that HMPV is causing the crowding in Chinese hospitals
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC says the virus was first identified in 2001.
But experts say that this virus may have existed in the world for ages.
Health experts say, there is nothing to panic now.
Because neither the Chinese government nor the World Health Organization (WHO) have yet issued an official warning.
Experts have not given any warning about whether this virus will take a dangerous shape or not.
However, they advised to be careful not to get the disease.
Infection with HMPV causes common fever or flu-like symptoms.
Cough, fever, nasal congestion and shortness of breath may also occur. Rash or rash may also appear on the skin.
However, for some, these symptoms can become severe.
According to the CDC, people of any age can develop diseases such as bronchitis or pneumonia if infected with this virus.
But so far it has been more common in children, elderly people and people with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms take three to six days after exposure.
But how long a person will suffer if infected depends on the severity of the infection and the physical capacity of the affected person
