Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> BK polyomavirus (BKV) persists lifelong in the urinary tract with asymptomatic urinary shedding in healthy individuals. In immunocompromised persons after transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCT) the BKV high-rate replication is associated with haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) with a reported incidence of 17 %.
