Genotypes and Variants of BKPyV in Organ Donors after Brain Death
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Kidney transplantation from a donor with latent BKPyV might be the cause of serious complications, such as BK virus-associated nephropathy. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of BKPyV infection in donors after brain death (DBDs), to analyse the molecular variation of BKPyV and to compare clinical and inflammation parameters of DBDs ...

Discriminating between JCPyV and BKPyV in Urinary Virome Data Sets [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Polyomaviruses are abundant in the human body. The polyomaviruses JC virus (JCPyV) and BK virus (BKPyV) are common viruses in the human urinary tract. Prior studies have estimated that JCPyV infects between 20 and 80% of adults and that BKPyV infects between 65 and 90% of individuals by age 10.

Longitudinal monitoring of BKPyV miRNA levels in kidney transplant recipients with BKPyV-related pathology reflects viral DNA levels and remain high in viremia patients after clearance of viral DNA [PDF]
Transplant Infectious Disease, 2022 AbstractIntroductionIt is unclear whether polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) microribonucleic acid (miRNA) measurement has additional diagnostic and predictive value in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) as compared to current methods of monitoring BKPyV DNA loads.Patients and methodsA retrospective, longitudinal study was performed in 30 KTR with BKPyV viruria ...

Characteristics of polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) infection in primary human urothelial cells [PDF]
Virology, 2013 High-level polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) replication in urothelial cells is a hallmark of polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (PyVHC), a painful condition affecting bone marrow transplant recipients. In kidney transplant recipients, replication in tubular epithelial cells is associated with overt disease whereas high-level urothelial replication is ...

BKPyV causing meningoencephalitis in HIV/AIDS patients in Argentina
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious DiseaseOpportunistic infections in the central nervous system (CNS) by JCPyV/BKPyV in HIV/AIDS patients increase morbidity/mortality, especially in low-income countries. In Argentina, data regarding CNS-infection by polyomavirus in HIV/AIDS are scarce. We retrospectively evaluated BKPyV/JCPyV infections in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of HIV/AIDS ...

Journal of Medical Virology, 2019 AbstractBKPyV replication is a risk factor for the development of polyomavirus‐associated nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients. Here, the case of a 42 years old Caucasian patient is described who developed a kidney allograft failure because of uncontrolled BKPyV replication 7 months after transplant despite a strong reduction of the ...

The role of the DE and EF loop of BKPyV VP1 in the serological cross-reactivity between subtypes
Virus Research, 2023 BK virus (BKPyV) is a causative agent of BKPyV-associated nephropathy and graft rejections in kidney transplant patients. It establishes persistent infection in the kidneys, which can lead to reactivation in an immunosuppressed state or transmission to kidney recipients. Complications in the case of donor-derived infections can be caused by differences
