a

Single center investigator-initiated study;

b

samples collected during respiratory seasons;

c

only patients who underwent bronchoscopy

Data from Fazekas et al. (2012)[39] were split for hMPV incidence in the HM and HCT groups, respectively;

DFA = direct fluorescent antibody; hMPV-LRTI indicates human metapneumovirus-associated lower respiratory tract infections; HCT recipient = hematopoietic cell transplant recipients; HM = hematologic malignancy; IF = immunofluorescence; NA= not available; PCR = polymerase chain reaction; RT-PCR = reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction
