May warrant closer monitoring in HBoV monoinfection; extends evidence on viral and host inflammatory determinants of severity.
High DNA load, elevated IFN-γ levels, neutrophilia, and the viral VP1_L40S variant are associated with severe lower respiratory tract infection in children with HBoV monoinfection.
Lin et al. (2026) studied this question. High HBoV DNA load, elevated IFN-γ, neutrophilia, and VP1_L40S variant are linked to severe lower respiratory tract infections in children with HBoV monoinfection.
