## Abstract Immunocompromised individuals were tested for the presence of the human polyomaviruses JC (JCV) and BK (BKV) by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The use of appropriate primers in a nested PCR allowed the detection of both viruses simultaneously. Viruses were differentiated by restri
## Abstract Human polyomaviruses JCV and BKV can cause several clinical manifestations in immunocompromised hosts, including progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and haemorrhagic cystitis. Molecular detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is recognised as a sensitive and specific m
