โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

Evidence has accumulated indicating that BK virus, following an inapparent primary infection, persists in the renal organs of normal healthy individuals and reactivates upon immunosuppression. Data to support this hypothesis are presented and suggest that BK virus DNA sequences are present at very low levels in the kidneys of more than 50% of the population and that this persistence is localized in several foci within these organs.

Urine specimens from bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients and from controls were directly tested for BK virus (BKV) DNA sequences by dot hybridization and for BKV antigen by a double-antibody indirect ELISA. A total of 158 specimens from 55 BMT patients (57 collected prior to or at the time of tr
