Abstract

Abstract : Porcine bocavirus is a recently discovered virus classified within the Bocavirus genus. We present a case of upper respiratory tract infection associated with porcine bocavirus in a 3-year-old child who was in close contact with hogs in northeastern Iran. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the human porcine bocavirus infection.
