Supplementary Material for: Human Metapneumovirus Infection Manifesting as Skin Eruption and Hand Swelling: A Case Report

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory pathogen that affects both children and adults and can be severe in the elderly and immunocompromised hosts. The virus usually results in a spectrum of respiratory illnesses. There is growing evidence that HMPV is also responsible for a variety of skin eruptions. An immunocompromised 7-year old patient with HMPV infection is presented with a severe skin eruption and painful swelling of the hand requiring hospital admission.
