Why the study?
There is a poor understanding of the characteristics and clinical manifestations of human bocavirus-1 (HBoV1) infection, and few studies have thoroughly analyzed co-infecting pathogens and their patterns in pediatric acute respiratory tract infections.
Population
5,021 hospitalized pediatric patients with respiratory infections in the Guangxi region
Design
Cohort study
Key result
Among 5,021 hospitalized children with respiratory infections, HBoV1 was detected in 8.48%, with 96% of these cases involving co-infections with other pathogens.

May support multiplex testing in pediatric ARTIs; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Cohort (n=5,021)
HBoV1 infection is present in 8.48% of hospitalized children with acute respiratory tract infections, with a very high rate (96%) of co-infection with other pathogens.
Tan et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Acute respiratory tract infections (n=5,021). Human bocavirus-1 (HBoV1) infection was evaluated on Detection rate of HBoV1. Among 5,021 hospitalized children with respiratory infections, HBoV1 was detected in 8.48%, with 96% of these cases involving co-infections with other pathogens.
