Prolonged KI Polyomavirus Infection in Immunodeficient Child [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 To the Editor: Two novel polyomaviruses (PyVs), KIPyV and WUPyV, were identified in respiratory and fecal specimens from children with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection (1,2). A review of literature on emerging viruses in transplant recipients indicated that up to 80% of patients harboring these PyVs are co-infected with another ...
