Supports HBoV2 detection in GI evaluations; hypothesis-generating for its role in pediatric diarrhea and needs controlled studies.
Cross-Sectional (n=250)
A novel multiplex real-time PCR assay successfully detects and quantifies four human bocaviruses, identifying HBoV2 as a relatively common pathogen in young children with diarrhea.
Kantola et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Gastrointestinal infection (n=250). Multiplex real-time quantitative PCR assay for HBoV1-4 was evaluated on Detection of HBoV1-4. A novel multiplex real-time PCR assay detected HBoV2 in 1.6% and HBoV3 in 0.4% of 250 stool samples from Finnish patients evaluated for gastrointestinal infection.
