Human polyomavirus infection: Cytological and molecular diagnosis [PDF]
Summary Few studies directly compare urinary cytology with molecular methods for detecting BK and JC polyomaviruses. Reactivation of BKV infection is the main risk factor for the development of nephropathy in immunocompromised individuals. The limitation of the cytological method can be attributed to the stage where the infected cell does not have ...

While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

No evidence for WU polyomavirus infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Human polyomaviruses are known to cause persistent or latent infections, which are reactivated under immunosuppression. Polyomaviruses have been found to immortalize cell lines and to possess oncogenic properties. Moreover, the recently discovered Merkel

Next‐Generation Sequencing Methods for Sensitive Hepatitis B Viral Genome Analysis: A European Study
ABSTRACT This multicentre study investigated the utility of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) to detect and generate hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes in samples of low viral load (from 0.2 to 6207 IU/mL). 23 HBV DNA‐positive plasma samples of genotypes A‐E and one HBV‐negative control sample were assayed blindly via 9 established NGS methods from 6 ...

JC Polyomavirus Infection: A Narrative Review
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a devastating and often fatal central nervous system infection caused by John Cunningham polyomavirus virus (JCPyV). PML results from JCPyV reactivation in the setting of impaired cellular immunity in patients with HIV, organ transplantation, severe inflammatory disease, and an increasing number of ...

Transmission of Anellovirus From Kidney‐Donor to Pediatric Recipient: An Exploratory Study
Donor‐to‐recipient anellovirus transmission occurred in 1 of 6 pediatric kidney transplant pairs, in a recipient with pre‐existing immunosuppression. The donor‐derived lineage became detectable 1 year after transplantation, indicating no meaningful contribution to early post‐transplant recipient TTV load and supporting continued research into TTV as an

Frequency of Polyomavirus BK Infection in Kidney Transplant Patients Suspected to Nephropathy
Background: Polyomavirus BK is a major cause of nephropathy in immunosuppressed transplanted patients. Non-invasive diagnostic protocols such as molecular detection of polyomavirus BK replication are a useful strategy to predict BK virus-associated ...

Recipient–Donor Sex Combinations and Posttransplant Infections: A Swiss Transplant Cohort Study
In this cohort study of 5033 patients, only the recipient sex, in particularly kidney recipients, was independently associated with an increased risk of infections, when compared to males. These findings indicate that recipient–donor sex combination does not influence short‐term solid organ transplantation outcome.

BK POLYOMAVIRUS-INFECTED DECOY CELLS IN URINE CYTOLOGY SPECIMENS OF RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
Background:BK polyomavirus is one of the common post-transplant viral infections, affecting ?15% of renal transplantation recipients (RTR), leading to graft loss in more than half of cases.
