Abstract
Introduction: Though there has been much discussion about post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, there has been limited study on symptoms following infection with other respiratory viruses.
Methods: In this retrospective chart review, we reviewed the medical records of 92 patients admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of human metapneumovirus for 17 of the common symptoms associated with post-acute sequalae of SARS-CoV-2 that were either new or worse than baseline in the time frame of 90 to 270 days after diagnosis.
Results: Of those patients hospitalized with human metapneumovirus, 55.4% had at least 1 new or worsening symptom more than 3 months after diagnosis. The most common symptoms noted were shortness of breath (29.3%) followed by fatigue and cough (17.3% each).
Conclusions: Our data suggest that other respiratory viruses - not just SARS-CoV-2 - may carry a significant burden of post-infection sequelae.
