A 10-month-old child in Assam's Dibrugarh has tested positive for the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), marking the first case in the state for 2025. The toddler was admitted to AMCH with a common cold and was diagnosed with the virus during routine screening. The total number of HMPV cases in India now stands at 11, with cases confirmed in several states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. Health officials have reassured the public that HMPV primarily affects children under five and there is no immediate cause for alarm.
