Phylogenetic Analysis of Polyomavirus BK Sequences [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2006
ABSTRACT Polyomavirus BK (BKV) has emerged as an important pathogen in kidney transplant patients. Existing taxonomic classifications of BKV come from conventional DNA sequence alignments based on limited data derived from the VP1 gene. We have used a phylogenetic whole-genome approach to examine the pattern of diversity and evolutionary ...

BK polyomavirus nephropathy in two kidney transplant patients with distinct diagnostic strategies for BK virus and similar clinical outcomes: two case reports

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy is an important cause of post-transplantation renal failure. We present two cases of BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy who were submitted to contrasting strategies of clinical follow-up to BK ...

Role of BK human polyomavirus in cancer [PDF]

Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2018
Human polyomaviruses (HPyV), which are small DNA viruses classified into the polyomaviridae family, are widely distributed in human populations. Thirteen distinct HPyVs have been described to date. Some of these viruses have been found in human tumors, suggesting an etiological relationship with cancer.

Immunosuppression, BK polyomavirus infections, and BK polyomavirus-specific T cells after pediatric kidney transplantation [PDF]

Pediatric Nephrology, 2019
After kidney transplantation, immunosuppressive therapy increases risk of BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN). Outcomes of BKPyV viremia are various and prognostic markers are missing. The impact of different immunosuppressive regimens on BKPyV infections is currently under discussion.We analyzed immunosuppressive therapy and BKPyV ...
