Bocavirus infection following paediatric liver transplantation 2016-10-23 .txt text/plain 1628 109 50 We report HBoV infection in a child postā€liver transplantation, who presented with persistent fever and mild tachypnea, 3 weeks after a successful transplant. She had episodes of prolonged fever even after her collections were drained, and a respiratory multiplex (PCR-based test) to look for viruses, from nasopharyngeal aspirates, was negative (3 weeks prior to transplant). 4 However, in recent years, it has been emerged that HBoV alone is pathogenic and can cause disease in immunocompetent children, most commonly presenting with respiratory symptoms, such as wheeze and bronchiolitis. 8 There are a few reports of HBoV infections in immunocompromised hosts wherein they have caused respiratory or diarrhoeal illness, and rarely even life-threatening conditions in the stem cell transplant population. 9 HBoV has also been shown to cause disseminated illness in a child, post-stem cell transplant. 11 There are no reports of HBoV-associated respiratory infections in children after liver transplantation. ./cache/cord-352684-4o623x3n.txt ./txt/cord-352684-4o623x3n.txt
