Abstract
Viral load (VL) of human metapneumovirus and human bocavirus in infants <12 months admitted for bronchiolitis was analyzed. VL correlated with length of hospital stay in both viruses, human metapneumovirus VL with the duration oxygen therapy and human bocavirus VL inversely with days of respiratory effort before admission. Infants coinfected by other viruses were younger, but no differences were seen regarding VL.
