The Role of HLA and KIR Immunogenetics in BK Virus Infection after Kidney Transplantation.

Viruses - 9 Dec 2020

Abstract excerpt

BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus with high seroprevalence in the general population with an unremarkable clinical presentation in healthy people, but a potential for causing serious complications in immunosuppressed transplanted patients. Reactivation or primary infection in kidney allograft recipients may lead to allograft dysfunction and subsequent loss. Currently, there is no widely accepted specific treatment...
