HMPV is a common cause of childhood respiratory illness. The increased prevalence is likely the normal seasonal increase seen in winter, not a major health crisis.
Current reports indicate a surge of HMPV cases among young people in northern China, coinciding with a rise in rhinovirus cases during colder months.
China's health officials caution against relying solely on antiviral medications for treatment, as various disease-causing infections are circulating in the population.
India's health ministry confirmed two HMPV cases but noted there's no unusual surge in flu or severe respiratory illness, indicating the global endemic nature of HMPV.
