Recently, a reliable quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) method has been developed to detect HBoV genomic copies in clinical samples, and this has demonstrated a presence of HBoV DNA in children with pneumonia-like symptoms in Thailand [14] . In this study, we used a Q-PCR with the amplicon targeted to the NS coding region of HBoV to detect the presence of HBoV DNA in children with respiratory tract infection in China. All 7 positive samples were either sputum or aspirated sputum, indicating a significant presence of HBoV DNA in lower respiratory tract. HBoV (Human bocavirus); LTRI (Lower respiratory tract infection); Q-PCR (Quantitative polymerase chain reaction).
