Summary

\- Estimate the incidence rate of hMPV infection detected by RT-PCR from frozen nasal wash aspirates in children at high risk for severe LRI disease (hospitalized at \<2 years of age).

Detailed Description

* A prospective, epdemiological study to estimate the incidence rate of hMPV infection as determined by RT-PCR from frozen nasal wash aspirates taken from children hospitalized with LRI who are at high risk for severe disease. * No study drug will be administered for this study.
