Gujarat reports its first suspected case of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV)

Gujarat has reported its first suspected case of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), following two confirmed cases in Bengaluru. A two-month-old baby, currently receiving treatment at a private hospital in Chandkheda, is believed to have tested positive for HMPV, though no official confirmation has been made yet.

Business News

Earlier today, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) confirmed two cases of HMPV in Karnataka. Both cases involved infants-a three-month-old female and an eight-month-old male-treated for bronchopneumonia at Baptist Hospital in Bengaluru. While the female infant has been discharged, the male infant is currently recovering. Neither of the patients had a history of international travel.
