Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a new human parvovirus identified in children with respiratory tract disease. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from 305 children <5 years of age with acute respiratory tract infection from April 2005 to March 2007 and screened for the presence of HBoV by two separate sets of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) described previously. Twenty-two (7.2%) children who had acute respiratory infection were found to be positive for HBoV by both sets of PCR. The main clinical symptoms were cough (95%), runny nose (64%), and fever (59%). In two samples, HBoV was identified together with respiratory syncytial virus in one sample and influenza A virus in another. HBoV appeared to have no seasonal distribution and is associated with both upper and lower respiratory tract disease in young children in India.
人博卡病毒（HBoV）是一种新发现的人类细小病毒，在患有呼吸道疾病的儿童中被鉴定出来。从 2005 年 4 月至 2007 年 3 月，采集了 305 名年龄在 5 岁以下的急性呼吸道感染儿童的鼻咽抽吸物，并通过之前描述的两组聚合酶链反应（PCR）来筛查 HBoV 的存在。用两组 PCR 都发现，22 名（7.2%）患有急性呼吸道感染的儿童 HBoV 呈阳性。主要临床症状为咳嗽（95%）、流鼻涕（64%）和发烧（59%）。在两个样本中，HBoV 与呼吸道合胞病毒在一个样本中，与甲型流感病毒在另一个样本中共同被鉴定出来。HBoV 似乎没有季节性分布，与印度幼儿的上呼吸道和下呼吸道疾病都有关联。
