*HBoV1, human bocavirus 1; NPA, nasopharyngeal aspirate; NT, not tested; HRV, human rhinovirus; HRV negative, tested by monoplex PCR only; PIV1, parainfluenzavirus type 1; ND, no data available; AdV, adenovirus; none, negative by multiplex PCR.
†All serum samples were negative for HBoV2–4 DNA (6).
‡HBoV antibodies after heterologous antigen competition are shown as absorbance values at 492 nm, cutoff 0.13 (7).
§IgG avidity was calculated as the ratio of 2 IgG end-point titers (urea positive/urea negative) as described (8). Results obtained with unblocked enzyme immunoassay and confirmed with specific competition enzyme immunoassays.
