Migration pathways and HIV care Cascade among newly enrolled adult patients in a tertiary clinic in Montréal, Canada

open access: yesHIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Migrants are disproportionately affected by HIV and face inequities in accessing care. This study examined the HIV care cascade among newly registered adults at the Chronic Viral Illness Service (CVIS). Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults (≥18 years) living with HIV and newly registered at the CVIS, in ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

JC virus as a marker of human migrationto the Americas

Microbes and Infection, 2000
JC virus is a ubiquitous human polyomavirus present in populations worldwide. Seven genotypes differing in DNA sequence by approximately 1-3% characterize three Old World population groups (African, European and Asian) as well as Oceania. It is possible to follow Old World populations into the New World by the JC virus genotypes they carried. The first

Molecular prevalence of JC virus in Tehran, Iran.

Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2012
Since data about prevalence of JC virus in Iranian population is scarce, this study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of JC virus in healthy individuals who had attended Fajr hospital and Farjam clinical laboratory in Tehran, Iran.JC virus is the causative agent of progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML) in individuals with suppressed immune ...
