Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of human bocavirus (HBoV) infection in the children with severe lower respiratory tract infection.Methods The clinical data of the hospitalized children with sputum HBoV-positive were analyzed retrospectively,who were hospitalized at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from September 1,2016 to March 31,2017.Results A total of 17 children were included in the study.The ratio of male to female was 15 ∶ 2.The diagnostic age ranged from 4 months to 4 years and 10 months old.82.4％ (14/17 cases) of the patients were infants less than 2 years old.Autumn and winter were high-occurrence seasons.Pediatric Critical Illness Scores(PCIS) were 68-88 scores(median 82 scores).PCIS was less than 70 scores in 1 case,and between 70 scores and 80 scores in 7 cases,and more than 80 scores in 9 cases.The main clinical manifestations were respiratory system involvement,including dyspnea in 17 cases (100％),fever in 14 cases (82.4％),cough in 16 cases (94.1％),wheezing in 13 cases (76.5％),and moist rales in 13 cases (76.5％).The main abnormal chest radiological findings showed patchy shadows in 7 cases (41.2％) and consolidation in 6 cases (35.3％).The oxygenation index was 73.9-296.0 mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),and median was 176 mmHg.The oxygenation index was between 100-200 mmHg in 7 cases(41.2％),and less than 100 mmHg in 2 cases(11.7％).Type Ⅰ respiratory failure occurred in 11 cases (64.7％),while type Ⅱ respiratory failure occurred in 6 cases (35.3 ％).All of the patients need respiratory support with mechanical ventilation.Among them,6 patients (35.3％) were treated by non-invasive ventilation and their ventilation time were 25-128 h(median 65 h),while 11 patients (64.7％) were treated by invasive ventilation and their ventilation time was 42-178 h(median 70 h).Other organ or system dysfunction is mild.The length of hospital stay ranged from 3 days to 13 days.The cure rate was 100％.Conclusions HBoV infection in the children with severe lower respiratory tract infection is common in infants under 2 years old,with acute onset and rapid recovery.The obvious clinical symptoms are fever,cough,wheezing and dyspnea.Although respiratory failure is common,other organ or system dysfunction is mild,which may bring about a good prognosis.
