Human metapneumovirus was first detected in the Netherlands in 2001. Since then, this virus has been widely observed in infants, immunocompromised persons and in older age groups, accounting for a significant percentage of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI’s), with significant morbidity and occasional mortality.
