An immunosuppressed 61-year-old man went to the hospital with fever, nonproductive cough, and increasing shortness of breath. The subject died 8 days later of respiratory complications. PCR of respiratory samples as well as a blood sample revealed exceptionally high DNA levels of the emerging pathogen, human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1), a recently found pathogen associated with respiratory symptoms in young children. We describe the clinical progression of the case and discuss the potential role of HBoV1 in the outcome.
一位免疫抑制的 61 岁男性因发热、无痰干咳和呼吸急促加重而前往医院就诊。该患者 8 天后因呼吸并发症死亡。呼吸道样本和血液样本的 PCR 检测显示，新兴病原体——人博卡病毒 1（HBoV1）的 DNA 水平极高，该病原体与幼儿呼吸道症状有关。我们描述了该病例的临床进展，并讨论了 HBoV1 在该结果中的潜在作用。
