We detected human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in 54 (5%) of 1055 children aged 5 to 13 years with acute respiratory illness (ARI) identified by outpatient and emergency department surveillance between November and May 2003-2009. Its clinical features were similar to those of HMPV-negative ARI, except a diagnosis of pneumonia was more likely (13% vs 4%, respectively; P = .005) and a diagnosis of pharyngitis (7% vs 24%, respectively; P = .005) was less likely in patients with HMPV- positive ARI than those with HMPV-negative ARI.
我们在 2003 年至 2009 年 11 月至 5 月间通过门诊和急诊部门监测发现，在 5 至 13 岁患有急性呼吸道疾病（ARI）的 1055 名儿童中，有 54 名（5%）检测出人类偏肺病毒（HMPV）呈阳性。除了肺炎的诊断（分别为 13%和 4%；P =.005）更有可能外，HMPV 阳性 ARI 患者的咽炎诊断（分别为 7%和 24%；P =.005）比 HMPV 阴性 ARI 患者更少。
