This article reports a cross-sectional study of HBoV in ARI patients from Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, in which the shedding of VP1 mRNA in respiratory secretions was used as surrogate marker for active HBoV replication, to look for correlations with viral load, and presence of particular clinical manifestations and simultaneous detection of other respiratory viruses. The results of this cross-sectional study of HBoV in ARI patients from Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, indicate that shedding of VP1 mRNA in respiratory secretions, as a marker of HBoV replication, correlates positively with high viral load, presence of diarrhea, and lack of co-infection by other respiratory viruses. ./cache/cord-319845-oob2ktnz.txt ./txt/cord-319845-oob2ktnz.txt
