  • Title: Detection of human bocavirus in children with Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Catalano-Pons C, Giraud C, Rozenberg F, Meritet JF, Lebon P, Gendrel D.
    Journal: Clin Microbiol Infect; 2007 Dec; 13(12):1220-2. PubMed ID: 17850342.
    Abstract:
    Human bocavirus (HboV) is an emerging virus that has been implicated as a cause of acute upper and lower respiratory tract infection in children. As no serological assay is available, PCR was used to screen nasopharyngeal, serum or stool samples from 16 patients with Kawasaki disease for HBoV nucleic acid. HBoV was identified by PCR in five (31.2%) patients, suggesting that this emerging virus may also play a pathogenic role in some cases of Kawasaki disease.
