Infection with polyomavirus JC

BMJ, 2011
Is highly prevalent, and can be fatal in immunocompromised people The recent discovery of new neurological syndromes that result from neuronal infection with polyomavirus JC, also known as JC virus, and the presence of this virus in the grey matter are currently under debate.1 It has been suggested that JC virus is associated with cognitive decline ...

The Pathobiology of Polyomavirus Infection in Man

2007
This article traces the discovery of polyomaviruses and outlines investigations, which shed light on potential modes of transmission of this increasingly important group of human pathogens. The pathobiology of the virus is summarized with particular reference to interactions with host cell receptors, cell entry, cytoplasmic trafficking, and targeting ...

Polyomavirus infections in transplant recipients

Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2000
Polyomavirus infection in immunosuppressed transplant patients is in most cases an asymptomatic reactivation of a latent infection that can, however, progress to manifest disease. JC virus causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a rare complication with poor outcome.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa is characterized by active polyomavirus infection

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2012
Recently a new polyomavirus was identified in a patient with trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS), a rare follicular skin disease of immunocompromised patients characterized by facial spines and overgrowth of inner root sheath cells. Seroepidemiological studies indicate that TSPyV is ubiquitous and latently infects 70% of the healthy individuals.To ...

BK Polyomavirus Infection in the Renal Transplant Recipient

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2013
Renal transplant recipients continue to have progressive kidney dysfunction and renal graft loss has been attributed to emerging opportunistic infections, specifically BK virus (BKV). BKV is postulated to be selected by the new potent immunosuppressive medications and to be an important factor in graft failure.

Urine Cytology Findings of Polyomavirus Infections

2007
Polyomaviruses of the BK- and JC-strains often remain latent within the transitional cell layer of the bladder, ureters and the renal pelvis as well as in tubular epithelial cells of the kidney. Slight changes in the immune status and/or an immunocompromised condition can lead to the (re)activation of latent polyomaviruses, especially along the ...

A Prospective Study of Human Polyomavirus Infection in Pregnancy

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1980
Urine samples from 1,235 pregnant women were examined by light microscopy for cytologic evidence of virus infection. Smears of urine sediment from 40 women (3.2%) were observed to contain inclusion-bearing cells; polyomavirus infection was confirmed by virologic methods in 24 (60%). A polyomavirus was isolated from 12 women.

Association of autism with polyomavirus infection in postmortem brains

Journal of Neurovirology, 2010
Autism is a highly heritable behavioral disorder. Yet, two decades of genetic investigation have unveiled extremely few cases that can be solely explained on the basis of de novo mutations or cytogenetic abnormalities. Vertical viral transmission represents a nongenetic mechanism of disease compatible with high parent-to-offspring transmission and with

The role of sialic acid in human polyomavirus infections

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2006
JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) are human polyomaviruses that infect approximately 85% of the population worldwide [1,2]. JCV is the underlying cause of the fatal demyelinating disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a condition resulting from JCV induced lytic destruction of myelin producing oligodendrocytes in the brain [3].

[Urologic aspects of Polyomavirus infection].

Progres en urologie : journal de l'Association francaise d'urologie et de la Societe francaise d'urologie, 2010
JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) are human Polyomaviruses of the papovavirus family, which also includes a simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40). Human Polyomaviruses were first isolated in 1971 from the brain (JCV) and urine (BKV) of two different patients. Human Polyomaviruses have a limited and specific tissue tropism infecting the renal tubular cells,
