Conclusion
We described the clinical characteristics and outcomes of HMPV infection
in 22 adult patients in an inpatient setting and how it differs from
COVID19. Many patients had comorbid conditions with an average CCI of
4.5 which was not significantly different between survivors and non
survivors. The mortality rate was elevated at 22% and associated with
admission to intensive care unit as well as having another concomitant
infection. Larger studies in adults are warranted to better understand
which factors are more likely to increase morbidity and mortality in
this patient population.
