Abstract: Objective To analyze the infection of human parvovirus B19,human bocavirus(HBoV) and human parvovirus 4 (PARV4) in blood samples among patients with liver disease in Nanjing by molecular detection.Methods Nested PCR assays were designed and validated to detect B19,HBoV and PARV4,respectively.The assays were used to screen three parvoviruses in blood samples from 95 patients with different liver disease in Nanjing.The parvovirus infection was analyzed statistically.Results The detection limits were 10 copies of genomic DNA equivalents per reaction for each assays and the good specificity were observed.The frequency of B19 and HBoV were 2/95 (2.1％)and 9/95 (9.5％)in blood samples respectively.No PARV4 was detected.HBoV was detected in 3/5 patients with drug-induced hepatitis.Conclusion Both B19 and HBoV infection were detected in blood from patients with liver disease.
