Abstract
KI virus was detected in respiratory secretions of 8/367 (2.2%) symptomatic and 0/96 asymptomatic children (p = 0.215). WU virus was detected in 26/367 (7.1%) symptomatic and 6/96 (6.3%) asymptomatic children (p = 1.00). These human polyomaviruses may not independently cause respiratory tract disease in young children.
Highlights
Specimens from symptomatic children who tested positive for KIV or WUV were screened for human bocavirus (HBoV); human metapneumovirus; human coronaviruses (HCoV) 229E, NL63, and HKU1; and human picornaviruses by using previously described methods [6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
Of the 367 symptomatic children, there were 8 (2.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0%–4.3%) whose specimens tested positive for KIV and 26 (7.1%; 95% CI 4.7%–10.2%) whose specimens tested positive for WUV
Summary
In 2007, 2 new human polyomaviruses, KI virus (KIV) and WU virus (WUV), were identified by molecular screening of respiratory secretions from children
