Detection of Spliced mRNA from Human Bocavirus 1 in Clinical Samples from Children with Respiratory Tract Infections
Table 1
HBoV1 mRNA PCR results in NPAs from children with and without RTIs, Norway, 2007–2010*
Sample source | Total no. | No. (%) HBoV1 mRNA+ | No. (%) HBoV1 mRNA– | p value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Children with RTIs | 133 | 33 (25) | 100 (75) | p<0.001 |
Controls (without RTIs) | 28 | 0 | 28 (100) | |
Children with LRTIs | 86 | 27 (31) | 59 (69) | p = 0.02 |
Children with URTIs | 47 | 6 (13) | 41 (87) |
*HBoV1, human bocavirus 1; NPAs, nasopharyngeal aspirates; RTIs, respiratory tract infections; LRTIs, lower RTIs; URTIs, upper RTIs.
