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.

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 ...

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.

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].

Post-transplantation polyomavirus infections.

Journal of nephrology, 1999
Increasing attention has been recently accorded to BK and JC viruses (BKV and JCV). Both these human polyomavirus (HPV) are members of the papovavirus family which includes the simian virus SV 40. BKV and JCV infect more than 60% of the population worldwide.

[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,

Human Polyomavirus JC and BK Persistent Infection

2007
Primary contact with the human polyomaviruses (HPV) is followed by lifelong persistence of viral DNA in its host. The most prominent organs affected are the kidney, the Central Nervous System (CNS)and the hematopoietic system. Under impairment of immune competence limited activation of virus infection can be followed by prolonged virus multiplication ...

Infections à polyomavirus

2016
La famille des Polyomaviridae est constituée du seul genre Polyomavirus dont les représentants infectentde très nombreux vertébrés. Si pendant près de 40 ans le BK polyomavirus et le JC polyomavirus sontrestés les seuls représentants humains, depuis 2006, 11 nouveaux polyomavirus humains ont été décrits.Le BK polyomavirus est responsable de ...
