HIGH PREVALENCE OF JOHN CUNNINGHAM VIRURIA IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: John Cunningham virus (JCV) is one of the important viruses in immunocompromised patients. High JC viruria is seen in kidney allograft recipients; some of them with a polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PVAN) just like BK polyomavirus but to

IgG Seroreactivites to Viral Capsid Protein VP1 of JC and BK Polyomaviruses in Children at Early Ages with Special Reference to Parental Cofactors

open access: yesChildren, 2023
BK (BKPyV) and JC (JCPyV) polyomaviruses are widespread in humans. Transmission at an early age and the role of parents in spreading these viruses through the family are incompletely understood.

Prevalence of Human Polyomavirus JC and BK in Normal Population [PDF]

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2020
JC virus (JCV) , and BK virus (BKV) can remain latency in kidney and excrete via urine asymptomatically. JCV has been associated with colorectal and bladder cancers. BKV has been linked with lung, pancreas, liver, urogenital tract, head and neck cancers.

A Case of Primary JC Polyomavirus Infection–Associated Nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Transplantation, 2014
A 15-year-old boy with a posterior urethral valve received a deceased donor kidney transplant (KT) in March 2011. Basiliximab induction followed by tacrolimus-based triple medication was used as immunosuppression. Eleven months after KT, the graft function deteriorated and the biopsy demonstrated interstitial nephritis suggestive of acute rejection. BK

JC Polyomavirus: Let's Please Respect Privacy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2018
ABSTRACT JC polyomavirus was discovered in 1971, and its name was derived from the initials of the individual from whose brain tissue it was isolated. While most scientists refer to the virus properly, i.e., calling it JCV or JCPyV, there is a small but palpable number of scientists who refer to the virus by the full name of the patient from ...

Potential Mechanisms of the Human Polyomavirus JC in Neural Oncogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 2008
The human polyomavirus JC (JCV) is a small DNA tumor virus and the etiologic agent of the progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. In progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, active JCV replication causes the lytic destruction of oligodendrocytes.

Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.
