In this study, we present four cases of Human Bocavirus (HBoV) infection in children aged between 1 month and 4 years. Among these cases, two siblings were hospitalized with similar symptoms. Among the four pediatric cases of patients with HBoV infection, three were associated with acute respiratory failure and spontaneous pneumothorax, and two of these presented with subcutaneous emphysema. The presented patients were young children, aged between 1 month and 4 years, two of whom were siblings, suggesting a possible intrafamilial transmission of HBoV1 infection. These cases highlight the importance of considering HBoV as a differential diagnosis in pediatric patients with respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Early recognition and appropriate medical care are important in treating HBoV infection in young children.
在本研究中，我们报告了 4 例年龄在 1 个月至 4 岁之间的儿童感染 Human Bocavirus（HBoV）的病例。其中，2 名兄弟姐妹出现了类似的症状而住院治疗。在这 4 例 HBoV 感染的儿科病例中，有 3 例与急性呼吸衰竭和自发性气胸有关，其中 2 例伴有皮下气肿。这些患儿年龄均较小，年龄在 1 个月至 4 岁之间，其中 2 例为兄弟姐妹，提示 HBoV1 感染可能存在家族内传播。这些病例强调了在有呼吸道和胃肠道症状的儿科患者中，将 HBoV 视为鉴别诊断的重要性。早期识别和适当的医疗护理对于治疗幼儿的 HBoV 感染非常重要。
