In order to understand the epidemiology of the human bocavirus (HBoV), 763 pediatric patients seeking treatment for respiratory infectious diseases in Mie Prefecture between 2010 and 2013 were surveyed, as part of the Mie Prefecture Project for the surveillance of infectious diseases.
Twenty-five of the 763 (3.3%) patients were found to be HBoV positive.
Of these, four were identified in 2010, five in 2011, nine in 2012 and seven in 2013. Most of the HBoV cases tended to be detected in spring and early summer.
