BK Polyomavirus—Biology, Genomic Variation and Diagnosis [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 The BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a representative of the family Polyomaviridae, is widespread in the human population. While the virus does not cause significant clinical symptoms in immunocompetent individuals, it is activated in cases of immune deficiency,

BK polyomavirus nephropathy in two kidney transplant patients with distinct diagnostic strategies for BK virus and similar clinical outcomes: two case reports [PDF]
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017 Background BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy is an important cause of post-transplantation renal failure. We present two cases of BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy who were submitted to contrasting strategies of clinical follow-up to BK ...

BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2022 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous virus residing in the kidney tubules and is clinically significant only in immunocompromised patients. In clinical practice, BKPyV is a causative pathogen of BKPyV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in kidney allograft

BK polyomavirus: emerging pathogen [PDF]
Microbes and Infection, 2012 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a small double-stranded DNA virus that is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. BKPyV is widespread in the general population, but primarily causes disease when immune suppression leads to reactivation of latent virus.

BK Polyomavirus in Renal Transplantation: Virological Notes for Monitoring and Diagnosis [PDF]
BiomoleculesPolyomavirus-associated nephropathy was first reported over 50 years ago. However, it still represents a cause of renal injury in kidney transplant recipients, particularly in the first two years post-transplantation, with occurrence rates of 1–10%.

Molecular Evaluation of BK Polyomavirus Nephropathy [PDF]
American Journal of Transplantation, 2005 Understanding at a molecular level, the immunologic response of polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN), a critical cause of kidney graft loss, could lead to new targets for treatment and diagnosis. We undertook a transcriptional evaluation of kidney allograft biopsies from recipients with PVN or acute rejection (AR), as well as from recipients with stable ...

Role of BK human polyomavirus in cancer [PDF]
Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2018 Human polyomaviruses (HPyV), which are small DNA viruses classified into the polyomaviridae family, are widely distributed in human populations. Thirteen distinct HPyVs have been described to date. Some of these viruses have been found in human tumors, suggesting an etiological relationship with cancer.
