Human Bocaviruses (HBoV) were associated with respiratory diseases. Here, we assessed a TaqMan-based PCR for the detection of all four HBoV subtype infections with a sensitivity up to 15 copies/reaction. To evaluate this assay on clinical samples, 178 nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens from pediatric cases were analyzed and HBoV genome was detected in 13 out of 178 patients with a viral load range between 1.6 × 10 and 9.4 × 10 copies/ml. These results indicated that this method could be used as an alternative technique for the diagnosis of HBoV infection.
人博卡病毒（HBoV）与呼吸道疾病有关。在此，我们评估了一种基于TaqMan的聚合酶链反应（PCR），用于检测所有四种HBoV亚型感染，其灵敏度高达每反应15个拷贝。为了在临床样本上评估该检测方法，我们分析了178例儿科病例的鼻咽抽吸物样本，在178例患者中的13例检测到HBoV基因组，病毒载量范围在1.6×10至9.4×10拷贝/毫升之间。这些结果表明，该方法可作为诊断HBoV感染的替代技术。
