An 8-month-old baby in Bengaluru has been diagnosed with Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a respiratory virus often causing cold-like symptoms but potentially severe complications in young children, the elderly, or immunocompromised individuals. The case comes at a time when China is witnessing a spike in HMPV infections, raising global health concerns.
Parents are urged to remain vigilant, monitor symptoms like fever, cough, or breathing difficulties in children, and maintain hygiene practices to reduce the risk of transmission. Medical professionals advise seeking immediate medical attention for symptoms that escalate or persist.
