Respiratory viral infections in hospitalized adults: a comparative clinico-laboratory study of RSV, HMPV, and influenza
Despite overlapping initial symptoms, HMPV, hRSV, and influenza resulted in different clinical and laboratory profiles in adults. HMPV was associated with more prominent lower respiratory symptoms and a stronger inflammatory response. These distinctions can aid in the clinical differentiation and management of these common respiratory viruses in adults, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis for improved patient care and public health strategies.
