Evidence of human bocavirus circulating in children and adults, Cleveland, Ohio	2008-09-19		.txt	text/plain	2700	200	50	STUDY DESIGN: From October 2005 through October 2006, we screened respiratory samples from children and adults negative for common respiratory pathogens for HBoV by PCR. CONCLUSIONS: HBoV circulates in Cleveland, OH, in children and adults with similar frequencies, and can warrant hospitalization and intensive care. We sought to further define the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of HBoV in adult and pediatric patients in Cleveland, OH. Isolates positive for HBoV were screened for common respiratory viruses by RT-PCR with published primer sets. Forty samples (2.2%) tested positive for HBoV by PCR: 36 (90%) pediatric patients and 4 (10%) adult patients. Of pediatric patients who screened positive for HBoV, 27 (84.4%) were admitted to the hospital, including 9 (28.1%) who required intensive care. However, this report suggests that clinical disease associated with HBoV alone may be severe enough to require admission to the hospital in both adults and children and to the intensive care unit in children.	./cache/cord-253148-3t4o27xp.txt	./txt/cord-253148-3t4o27xp.txt
