Auszug
Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are important viral pathogens causing upper and lower respiratory infections (URI and LRI, respectively), particularly affecting infants, children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals [1]. Since the first isolation of HPIVs in the 1950s, four serotypes (HPIV1-4) have been identified [1]. HPIVs are negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of the family Paramyxoviridae, of which HPIV1 and HPIV3 belong to the genus Respirovirus and HPIV2 and HPIV4 to the genus Rubulavirus [2]. In the post-COVID-19 era, the rising incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARIs), particularly those caused by influenza virus (IFV), human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), and human metapneumovirus, has dominated clinical and public health discourse [3‐5], while HPIV infections have received comparatively less attention. This oversight has resulted in gaps in understanding the full clinical and epidemiologic impact of HPIVs, underscoring the need to focus on these pathogens. …
