Readiness Level of Spanish Labs to Detect Mpox Clade Ib: A Nationwide EQA

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To assess the preparedness and diagnostic capacity of Spanish clinical microbiology laboratories to detect the emerging monkeypox virus (MPXV) Clade Ib through a nationwide external quality assessment. A blinded 16‐sample panel (serum and DNA eluates) containing MPXV Clade Ib, Clade II, vaccinia, and negatives was distributed.

A Simplified Risk Assessment Tool to Predict Post Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation Outcomes: A Single, Highly Experienced Medical Center in Taiwan

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Liver transplantation (LT) is the standard treatment for end‐stage liver disease, yet the gap between the demand for organs and their availability is widening. In Taiwan, the scarcity of deceased donor organs highlights the need for optimized utilization strategies.

Undetectable JC virus CSF PCR in patients with JC virus-induced progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

Journal of NeuroVirology, 2023
The diagnosis of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is based on a combination of clinical, radiographic, and laboratory findings. However, negative JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) PCR in CSF does not always rule out JCPyV-related PML. In this narrative review, we sought to examine the characteristic of biopsy-proven PML in patients with ...

BK and JC virus: A review

Journal of Infection, 2014
Polyomaviruses are ubiquitous, species-specific viruses belonging to the family Papovaviridae. The two most commonly known human polyomaviruses, BK virus and JC virus were first described in the 1970s. Newer human polyomaviruses, namely KI polyoma virus, WU polyoma virus and Merkel cell polyoma virus were identified in the last five years.

Atypical presentations and course of JC virus infection

Journal of NeuroVirology, 2022
There is increasing evidence that the spectrum of human polyomavirus 2 (JCV) CNS disease includes novel syndromes other than progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), the appreciation of which is increasingly important in the context of MS therapies and immunodeficiency states. Our objective is to describe unusual presentations of JCV infection

Role of the Environment in the Transmission of JC Virus

Journal of Neurovirology, 2003
JC virus is etiologically associated with a fatal demyelinating disease known as PML. JCV produces persistent infections in the kidney and is excreted in the urine of healthy individuals and in the urine of PML patients. The characteristics of the JCV excreted in the environment have been studied by analyzing sewage samples from divergent geographical ...

Revisiting JC virus and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

Journal of NeuroVirology, 2023
Since its definition 65 years ago, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) has continued to devastate a growing population of immunosuppressed patients despite major advances in our understanding of the causative JC virus (JCV). Unless contained by the immune system, JCV lyses host oligodendrocytes collateral to its life cycle, leading to ...

JC virus in human glial-derived tumors

Human Pathology, 2000
To investigate the presence and the role of polyomaviruses JC (JCV), BK (BKV), and the simian polyomavirus (SV40) in human brain tumors, samples from 25 glial-derived tumors (10 astrocytomas, 5 ependymomas, 5 oligodendrogliomas, and 5 glioblastomas) were examined by means of molecular biology and immunohistochemistry.

No association of JC virus with Alzheimer's disease or astrocytomas

Clinical and Diagnostic Virology, 1995
To investigate if JC virus (JCV) can be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and astrocytomas.A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the detection of JCV DNA in autopsy brain material (cerebral white matter) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from patients with AD and age-matched control patients without ...
