Samples that were positive for HBoV were then subjected to NP1 and VP1\/PV2 phylogenetic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> HBoV was detected in 1.9\u200a% of the patients, with a peak incidence of infection among children &lt;1\u2009year old. Co-infection with other respiratory viruses was observed in 56.8\u200a% of HBoV-positive patients. Fever, cough and respiratory distress were the most common clinical features of HBoV infection. Phylogenetic analysis of the Kuwaiti HBoV isolates revealed that all the isolates were of the HBoV-1 genotype, with slight sequence variations among the isolates.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusion.<\/jats:bold> This study illustrated the predominance of the HBoV-1 genotype in patients with respiratory diseases in Kuwait with minimal genetic variability. It also highlighted the clinical features of HBoV-1 infection, verifying its role in respiratory
