DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2019.12.345
Abstract: Allogeneic HCT recipients may develop BK virus (BKV)-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (BKV-HC), typically early after engraftment. Yet, BKV levels in urine and blood are not routinely monitored pre- or post-HCT. Among HCT recipients with primary immunodeficiency… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2017.12.056
Abstract: INTRODUCTION BK virus (BKV) is a common human polyomavirus and causes latent infection. Especially in immunosuppressive patients, early diagnosis and treatment are very important in reducing the high mortality rate. In this study, we investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2019.04.096
Abstract: In kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) long-term immunosuppression leads to BK virus (BKV) reactivation, with an increased incidence of BKV-associated pathologies and allograft rejection. The current approaches to limit BKV infection include a reduction in immunosuppression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.2c00219
Abstract: BK virus (BKV) is one of the most common pathogens in post-transplantation infections. For kidney transplantation, BKV infection results in the impairment of allograft function and thus increases the risk of allograft loss. However, clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfaa142.p0647
Abstract: Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) are pooled polyvalent IgG antibodies extracted from the human plasma. While the initial indications were mainly immune deficiency states and some autoimmune diseases, the usage has been widened to include several immune… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/txd.0000000000000759
Abstract: Background BK virus (BKV) is the cause of nephropathy. Because BKV nephropathy can progress to graft loss, early diagnosis of BKV infection is very important. In this study, we aimed to investigate the utility of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ajt.16233
Abstract: BK virus (BKV) replication occurs frequently in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), potentially leading to BKV‐associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and graft loss. Patients with high titers of BKV‐neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are protected against BKV replication, and intravenous… read more here.

Abstract: Polyomavirus BK (BKV) is an important pathogen in kidney transplant patients. Regulation of BKV encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) is not well understood. Therefore, tubular epithelial cells infected with BKV were examined for changes in small RNA… read more here.
