CDC is monitoring HMPV spike in China as US cases increase

by

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is currently monitoring reports of a spike in human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in China, as the US sees an increase in such cases.

The CDC said it was aware of increasing HMPV cases in northern China following reports from Beijing-run media confirming positivity rates have risen significantly among children 14 and younger.

The CDC, however, stressed that the number of cases of the respiratory disease in America remains at “pre-pandemic” levels and is not a cause for concern.
