BK Polyomavirus‐Associated Nephropathy Complicated by Life‐Threatening Hemorrhagic Pericardial Effusion Following Immunosuppression Reduction in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Case Report

Case Reports in Transplantation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is an opportunistic infection following kidney transplantation due to immunosuppression. It is a recognized cause of tubulitis and graft dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Management is challenging because clinicians must balance viral control with the risk of acute rejection.

BK polyomavirus association with colorectal cancer development

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
The development of human neoplasms can be provoked by exposure to one of several viruses. Burkitt lymphoma, cervical carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma are associated with Epstein-Barr, human papilloma, and hepatitis B virus infections, respectively.

Surveillance of polyomavirus BK in relation to immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation

Microbiologia Medica, 2012
Introduction. Reactivation of polyomavirus BK in kidney transplant recipients has been associated to the development of nephropathy (polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, PVAN), possibly leading to the loss of the transplanted organ.

Sirolimus Versus Mycophenolate Mofetil in Simultaneous Pancreas–Kidney Transplantation: Impact on Urinary Tract Infection Rates

Journal of Transplantation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common complications following simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK). The role of specific immunosuppressive agents in modulating UTI incidence and recurrence remains poorly understood. Methods In this retrospective, single‐center study, we analyzed 164 SPK recipients randomized to receive

Parvovirus Infection-Related Anemia after Kidney Transplantation

Case Reports in Transplantation, 2020
Anemia postkidney transplantation is an important issue which has been correlated with increased hospitalizations and higher mortality. Infections, including those due to parvovirus B19, CMV, and BK virus (polyomavirus), have also been associated with an

BK polyomavirus microRNA expression and sequence variation in polyomavirus-associated nephropathy

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2018
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection is a common asymptomatic viral infection in the general population. Severe complications are seen in immunocompromised individuals, such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) in renal transplant recipients. Information on BKPyV microRNA expressions is scarce, although polyomavirus-encoded microRNAs have been ...

The case for BK polyomavirus as a cause of bladder cancer

Current Opinion in Virology, 2019
In 2014, the International Agency for Research on Cancer judged Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) to be a probable human carcinogen. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV, a distant cousin of MCPyV) was ruled a possible carcinogen. In this review, we argue that it has recently become reasonable to view both of these viruses as known human carcinogens.
