✦ Synopsis

The following sentences from the article abstract are corrected as follows:

BKVN was confirmed histologically in 3/120 patients and viremic patients were treated with dialysis for longer time periods and had higher levels of panel reactive antibodies.

In conclusion, polyoma BK viremia and viruria are frequent findings in kidney transplant recipients that warrant intensive monitoring as a means of preventing graft failure.
