N2  - Background: Human bocavirus (HBoV) is a virus  belonging to the Parvoviridae family, which has been  newly discovered to be associated with respiratory tract  infections in children. There are many reports worldwide  on the endemicity of this virus. Since it is relatively  new, it is not routinely detected in clinical laboratory  investigations.  Case Report: We demonstrated that HBoV infection  caused the death of a 5-month-old girl with a history  of high fever and wheezing. Human bocavirus (HBoV  1/2/3/4) was found in a nasopharyngeal swab, paraffin-embedded  lung tissue and stool samples by multiplex  PCR methods using postmortem microbiological  analysis.  Conclusion: This case suggests that lower respiratory  tract infections due to HBoV may cause severe and  life-threatening diseases. Postmortem microbiology  is useful in both clinical and forensic autopsies, and  allows a suspected infection to be confirmed. To our  knowledge, this report is the first document of a HBoV  postmortem case in Turkey
