Efficacy and Safety of Ciprofloxacin for Prophylaxis of Polyomavirus BK Virus–Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Polyoma virus BK–induced hemorrhagic cystitis is an important cause of morbidity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Fluoroquinolones have been shown in vitro to inhibit BK viral replication by direct inhibition of the BK-encoded DNA ...

Polyomavirus specific cellular immunity: from BK-virus-specific cellular immunity to BK-virus-associated nephropathy ?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
In renal transplantation, BK-virus-associated nephropathy has emerged as a major complication, with a prevalence of 5–10% and graft loss in >50% of cases. BK-virus is a member of the Polyomavirus family and rarely induces apparent clinical disease in the

BK virus and cancer in Uganda

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2006
As part of an epidemiological study of cancer in Uganda, we investigated the titre of antibodies against BK virus among 821 people with different cancer types and benign tumours. Among study participants, 790 were considered seropositive for anti-BK virus antibodies and all analyses were conducted on transformed data.

Longitudinal viral kinetic study of BK virus in renal transplant patients - A single-center study in Sri Lanka

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Virology Plus, 2022
Background: There is a strong association between high-level BK viraemia and the development of BK virus-associated nephropathy. Therefore, understanding the kinetics of BK virus replication following transplantation would be helpful in predicting high ...

Management of BK-virus infection – Swedish recommendations

open access: yesInfectious Diseases, 2019
BK-virus (BKV) associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and BKV associated haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) are complications of BKV infection/reactivation in renal and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients, respectively. The task of how to

Polyoma BK Virus: An Oncogenic Virus? [PDF]

open access: yesCase Reports in Nephrology, 2013
We report a case of a 65-year-old gentleman with a history of end stage renal disease who underwent a successful cadaveric donor kidney transplant four years ago. He subsequently developed BK virus nephropathy related to chronic immunosuppressant therapy. Three years later, misfortune struck again, and he developed adenocarcinoma of the bladder.

Molecular Networks Involved in the Immune Control of BK Polyomavirus

open access: yesClinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
BK polyomavirus infection is the important cause of virus-related nephropathy following kidney transplantation. BK virus reactivates in 30%–80% of kidney transplant recipients resulting in BK virus-related nephropathy in 1%–10% of cases.

Prevalence of anti-BK polyomavirus IgG in A Sample of Iraqi renal transplant recipients

open access: yesDiyala Journal of Medicine, 2022
Background: BK virus, a human polyomavirus, causes nephropathy and allograft loss in renal transplant recipients. Although it was discovered in 1971, understanding of the humoral immune response to BKV is limited.
