摘要
An association has been proposed between atherosclerosis and several organisms. We investigated 50 carotid atherosclerotic plaques by real-time polymerase chain reaction for human bocavirus (HBoV). HBoV DNA was not detected in any of the specimens. Future studies are warranted to prove or disprove the role of infectious pathogens, including HBoV, in atherosclerosis.
