| human metapneumovirus in patients with respiratory tract infection in kuwait. | human metapneumovirus (hmpv) has been recognized as an important cause of respiratory tract infections in all age groups and in all geographical area. the role of hmpv in causing respiratory tract infections in kuwait was not yet investigated. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hmpv infection in kuwait among patients with respiratory tract infection with respect to other respiratory viruses. during january-december 2009, 460 respiratory samples from 388 patients with respir ... | 2011 | 21837799 |
| phylogenetic analysis of human metapneumovirus detected in hospitalized patients in kuwait during the years 2009-2011. | human metapneumovirus (hmpv) is an important cause of both upper and lower respiratory tract infections (rtis) in all age groups. children, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals are the most affected groups. hmpv infection accounts for 5% of hospitalized patients with respiratory tract infections in kuwait. it is mostly detected among infants and elderly age groups, and both hmpv genotypes a and b circulate in kuwait. | 2015 | 25773766 |
| the prevalence of human bocavirus, human coronavirus-nl63, human metapneumovirus, human polyomavirus ki and wu in respiratory tract infections in kuwait. | the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of human coronavirus (hcov)-nl63, human metapneumovirus (hmpv), human bocavirus (boca), human polyomavirus ki (kiv) and human polyomavirus wu (wuv) in respiratory tract infections (rti) in kuwait. | 2015 | 25925246 |
| evaluation of the primerdesign™ genesig real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay and the infiniti® respiratory viral panel plus assay for the detection of human metapneumovirus in kuwait. | human metapneumovirus (hmpv) is a respiratory pathogen that was discovered in 2001 and is considered a major cause of both upper and lower respiratory tract infections. a sensitive, fast, and high-throughput diagnostic test is needed for the detection of hmpv that may assist in the clinical management as well as in the reduction of inappropriate therapy. therefore, a comparison assessment was performed in this study between the primerdesign™ genesig real-time reverse transcription-polymerase cha ... | 2012 | 22300956 |
