This report describes the frequency and clinical presentation of HBoV in 261 Iranian children<5 years old with acute respiratory infections attending two regional hospitals in Rasht, Iran in the winter of 2003–2004. Human bocavirus (HBoV) was first described in 2005 [Allander et al., 2005] and it was suggested that the virus might be a cause of acute respiratory infections. Children less than 5 years of age with acute respiratory infections of less than 7 days duration attending the outpatient department or being admitted to hospital from Saturday to Thursday were enrolled after informed parental consent. Given the high frequency of HBoV in Iran, this virus might play a significant role as a cause of acute respiratory infections in children. ./cache/cord-342853-n3e6yawi.txt ./txt/cord-342853-n3e6yawi.txt
