Bocavirus viremia.

Sir,

Dear editor, the recent report on 5 cases with bocavirus viremia is very interesting.[1] Bubshait et al. noted that “wheezing was a striking feature in most of our patients, but fever was not a consistent finding.”[1] In fact, bocavirus infection is a new infection that can be seen around the world. Here, the authors would like to share the experience from Thailand. Hasan et al. noted that 12.8% of cases with acute lower respiratory tract viral infections in Thailand was due to bocavirus.[2] Wheezine is also the most common clinical presentation in Thai patients and can persist for more than 1 year in a quarter of the infected patients.[34] Unlike the finding by Bubshait et al., fever is common among Thai patient.[5] Furthermore, nonrespiratory symptoms can also be seen. The common nonrespiratory symptoms are gastrointestinal problems.[56] Those cases with nonrespiratory presentation can be easily forgotten and should be kept in mind of all practitioners.
