Severe lower respiratory infections in children related to human Bocavirus 1 / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Human bocavirus 1 ( HBoV1 ) is closely related to lower respiratory infections in children. Respiratory symptoms elicited by HBoV1 include cough, tachypnea, wheezing and dyspnea, which are of mild degree and haven′t found to be distinguished. Few single infected patients with dyspnea needing mechanical ven-tilation were reported,however,the number of severe cases caused by HBoV1 is increasing in recent years. Here we reviewed the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of HBoV1 in-duced severe lower respiratory infections.
