Part Descriptions

LP34982-6 Human metapneumovirus
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a Paramyxoviridae family virus that causes upper and lower respiratory tract infections in the very young, elderly and those with compromised immune systems. hMPV can vary in its size, shape and staining properties, and shares similar structure with avian pneumovirus (aMPV) and human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV). Typically, molecular testing methods, like reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), are used to detect hMPV. hMPV is thought to be responsible for about 5% to 10% of pediatric hospitalizations of those suffering from acute respiratory tract infection.

Basic Attributes

Class: MICRO
Type: Laboratory
First Released: Version 2.66
Last Updated: Version 2.79 (NAM)
Change Reason: Release 2.79: COMPONENT: Triggered by the coll w SCT:The understanding is that the word "identified" refers to the property "PRID", its presence in the component is redundant to the property. Therefore it is better to remove "identified" from the component.; Release 2.77: SYSTEM: Updated to standardize the representation of "Respiratory system specimen" in the System subhierarchy across LOINC;
Order vs. Observation: Both
