“HMPV not a threat”: Health experts urge

Bengaluru has reported its first case of Human MetaPneumoVirus (HMPV) in an eight-month-old baby, raising significant health concerns. The child, who has no travel history, was diagnosed with this rare respiratory virus, typically affecting children under the age of 11. While the test was conducted by a private hospital, the Karnataka Health Department is closely investigating the case and its potential for local spread. Authorities are monitoring the situation and have issued a public advisory. This case has heightened global concerns following warnings about HMPV outbreaks in other parts of the world, particularly in China. As of now, no significant rise in respiratory infections has been reported in Karnataka, but health officials remain vigilant. #HMPV #Bengaluru #HealthAlert #RespiratoryVirus #VirusSpread #KarnatakaHealth #IndiaNews #BabyCase #HumanMetaPneumoVirus #HealthConcerns #Karnataka #PandemicWatch Also Read Viral Footage From China Sparks Concerns: Is HMPV The Next Health Threat For India? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/viral-footage-from-china-sparks-concerns-is-hmpv-the-next-health-threat-for-india-4034407.html?ref=DMDesc Delhi Issues Guidelines To Combat HMPV And Respiratory Illnesses :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/delhi-issues-guidelines-to-combat-hmpv-and-respiratory-illnesses-4034361.html?ref=DMDesc China Virus Outbreak: Surge In HMPV Cases Reported In Malaysia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-virus-outbreak-surge-in-hmpv-cases-reported-in-malaysia-4034357.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.102~
