BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2022 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous virus residing in the kidney tubules and is clinically significant only in immunocompromised patients. In clinical practice, BKPyV is a causative pathogen of BKPyV associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in kidney allograft recipients or hemorrhagic cystitis of hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

BK Polyomavirus—Biology, Genomic Variation and Diagnosis [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 The BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a representative of the family Polyomaviridae, is widespread in the human population. While the virus does not cause significant clinical symptoms in immunocompetent individuals, it is activated in cases of immune deficiency, both pharmacological and pathological.

BK polyomavirus: emerging pathogen [PDF]
Microbes and Infection, 2012 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a small double-stranded DNA virus that is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. BKPyV is widespread in the general population, but primarily causes disease when immune suppression leads to reactivation of latent virus.

BK Polyomavirus in Renal Transplantation: Virological Notes for Monitoring and Diagnosis. [PDF]
BiomoleculesPolyomavirus-associated nephropathy was first reported over 50 years ago. However, it still represents a cause of renal injury in kidney transplant recipients, particularly in the first two years post-transplantation, with occurrence rates of 1–10%.

BK Polyomavirus and Transformation [PDF]
American Journal of Transplantation, 2011 The human BK polyomavirus (PyV) (BKV) was isolated from the urine of a kidney transplant patient with the initials B.K. after cells with nuclear atypia were noted in the urine in the diagnostic workup of an alloureter stenosis. Electron microscopy revealed intranuclear inclusions of nonenveloped viral particles of 40–45-nm diameter suggesting infection

BK Polyomavirus in Solid Organ Transplantation [PDF]
American Journal of Transplantation, 2013 The human BK polyomavirus (BKV) is the major cause of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) putting 1-15% of kidney transplant patients at risk of premature allograft failure, but is less common in other solid organ transplants. Because effective antiviral therapies are lacking, screening kidney transplant patients for BKV replication in urine ...

A highly potent human antibody neutralizing all serotypes of BK polyomavirus. [PDF]
PLoS PathogBK polyomavirus infection poses a significant risk to kidney transplant recipients. Reactivation of dormant virus in the transplanted kidney, triggered by immunosuppression, can lead to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in up to 10% of transplants ...
