Özet

Human metapneumovirus is one of the most common viruses which cause lower respiratory tract infection in children, throughout the world. It was first isolated from children who had acute respiratory illness in 2001. It usually infects children younger than five years old. Clinical features are mostly cough, rinitis, high fever and wheezing. Herein we report a fifty-days-old infant who presented with a clinical picture similar to whooping cough and whose respiratory polymerase chain reaction test resulted as Human metapneumovirus and culture for pertussis resulted as negative. In this case, we want to emphasize that, Human metapneumovirus can cause pertussis-like illness in children.
