title: Human bocavirus infection in a neonatal intensive care unit.
abstract: Human bocavirus (HBoV) plays a non-insignificant role as a pathogen in respiratory tract diseases in the pediatric population, especially in infants younger than 2 years of age. In this paper, we have described two cases of a possible nosocomial infection in a neonatal intensive care unit being HBoV the sole detected respiratory virus in clinical samples.
