MATERIALS/METHODS: Between January 2012 and November 2017, patients who had hMPV detected in nasopharyngeal or bronchoalveolar lavage by molecular respiratory pathogen tests were evaluated. Lower respiratory system infection (LRTI) was diagnosed in 44 patients with clinical findings, and in 31 patients out of 44 the radiological findings supported the diagnosis. Our study demonstrates the radiologic findings of hMPV infections in patients with LRSI (Figures 3 and 4) . In a recent review for radiologic imaging of viral agents that may cause pneumonia, the general radiologic findings of hMPV infections were followed as bilateral centrilobular nodules, GGO, and multilobar infiltrations; however, there was no information about nodular consolidation. In addition, they noted that the radiologic findings of hMPV infections were most commonly reported in patients with hematologic malignancy, but there were limited data on immunocompetent patients.
