title: Human bocavirus in an immunocompromised child presenting with severe diarrhea.
abstract: Human bocavirus (HBoV) is frequently detected in young children with respiratory symptoms. However, the prevalence and pathogenicity of HBoV in immunocompromised patients are largely unknown. This report describes a case of life-threatening hypovolemic shock due to diarrhea associated with disseminated HBoV infection in an immunocompromised child.
