Abstract:
Using hospital surveillance data, we estimated Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) hospitalization incidence by age and HIV-exposure status. hMPV-associated hospitalization incidence was highest in <1-year children. Incidence rate ratios of HIV-exposed over unexposed children were 1.5 (95%CI 0.9-2.4) for <6-month children, 1.4 (95%CI 0.7-2.4) for 6- to 11-month children and 0.9 (95%CI 0.4-1.9) for 12- to 59-month children.
