Abstract

The epidemiology and clinical manifestations of human metapneumovirus are not well studied in infants younger than 60 days of age. In this retrospective review of infants admitted for sepsis evaluation, we identified HMPV less frequently than other viral etiologies via nasopharyngeal multiplex polymerase chain reaction testing; in only 16 (1.9%) infants. Two infants had apneic episodes, but none had wheezing.
