Human Bocavirus (HBoV) is a parvovirus in human respiratory secretions isolates from symptomatic patients. Its prevalence varies from 1.5 to 19% and the most common age for a primary infection is between 6 to 24 months age. HBoV has been associated with infections in the upper and lower children respiratory tract, little is known about HBoV infections among adults and the elderly. The present study objective was to investigate the HBoV occurrence in children and adults with acute respiratory symptoms. One hundred and eighty-theree nasal swab samples from symptomatic patients that are attended in the public health services in Guarapuava city, in Paraná State between 2014 and 2015. The patients´ mean age included in the essay was 35 years old and the 33 years median, varying from less than 1 year and up to 82 years age. The most commonly observed symptoms were coryza, cough and fever. The samples were tested for HBoV DNA presence by standard PCR methodology. No positive samples were detected for HBoV. Thus, we did not demonstrate the HBoV circulation in Guarapuava - PR, but more studies are necessary, taking into account that these new viruses may be important pathogens in respiratory diseases in Brazil.
