title: Evidence of human bocavirus viremia in healthy blood donors.
abstract: Human bocavirus DNA was detected by means of a quantitative, real-time polymerase chain reaction at low levels in the 5.51% of sera obtained from healthy blood donors, suggesting that viral detection in blood is not necessarily associated with disease status.
