BK polyomavirus infection: more than 50 years and still a threat to kidney transplant recipients

open access: yesFrontiers in Transplantation
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous human polyomavirus and a major infection after kidney transplantation, primarily due to immunosuppression. BKPyV reactivation can manifest as viruria in 30%–40%, viremia in 10%–20%, and BK polyomavirus-associated ...

An unusually high substitution rate in transplant-associated BK polyomavirus in vivo is further concentrated in HLA-C-bound viral peptides.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2018
Infection with human BK polyomavirus, a small double-stranded DNA virus, potentially results in severe complications in immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe the in vivo variability and evolution of the BK polyomavirus by deep sequencing.

Complete genome sequence of BK polyomavirus subtype Ib-1 detected in a kidney transplant patient with BK viremia using shotgun sequencing

open access: yes, 2017
We report here the complete genome sequence of polyomavirus BK subtype Ib-1, isolate AR11, identified in urine from a human kidney transplant recipient with a clinical diagnosis of BK viremia. The AR11 isolate is closely related to reference strain human

Polyomavirus – an emergent pathogen in transplant recipients

open access: yes, 2007
Medical centers that work with transplants often face opportunisticinfections that demand specific tools to make diagnosis. Theprevalence of latent polyomavirus infections is high, and the mostcommon site of latency of the most prevalent polyomavirus in ...

The role of BK polyomavirus in human cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BK polyomavirus is small uncoated DNA virus which is ubiquitous in human population. In imunosupresed individuals can cause severe diseases, specifically BK polyomavirus associated nephropathy (BKVaN) and hemoragic cystitidis. Except that, it is presumed

BK Polyomavirus, thyroïdites auto-immunes et goitre

open access: yes, 2017
Introduction : les thyroïdites auto-immunes (TAI) sont fréquentes et leur physiopathologie est mal connue. Elles sont souvent associées à un goitre. Parmi les facteurs à l'origine de ces entités pathologiques, on suspecte le rôle des infections virales ...

Lactoferrin inhibits early steps of human BK polyomavirus infection

open access: yes, 2006
Lactoferrin, a member of the transferrin family, is a bi-globular iron binding glycoprotein, found in milk, exocrine secretions of mammals, and in secondary granules of polymorphonuclear neutrophiles that plays an important role in the defence against ...

Experience of BK Virus in Allogenic and Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation:

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2014
The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. When the immune system is compromised, as in patients undergoing chemotherapy after hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantation, the virus is reactivated leading to haemorrhagic cystitis ...
