WU and KI polyomaviruses remain orphans in adults.
To the Editor—We read with interest the brief report by Barzon et al [1] showing that WU and KI polyomaviruses (WUPyV and KIPyV) reactivate and are frequently detectable in the brains of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive patients without being associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. We also recently disproved such an association between novel polyomaviruses (includ...

متن کاملPolyomaviruses KI and WU in Immunocompromised Patients with Respiratory Disease
Polyomaviruses KI (KIPyV) and WU (WUPyV) were recently identified, mainly in respiratory specimens from children. Among 200 patients with respiratory disorders admitted to Saint Louis Hospital, Paris, France, KIPyV was detected in 8% and WUPyV in 1%. KIPyV was significantly more frequent among human stem cell transplant patients (17.8% vs. 5.1%; p = 0.01).
متن کاملThe novel KI, WU, MC polyomaviruses: possible human pathogens?
Recently, three novel human polyomaviruses KIPyV, WUPyV and MCPyV were uncovered in biological specimens of patients with different underlying clinical conditions. Although it is too early to draw firm conclusions on their role in human pathology, this finding has revitalized the scientific debate on the Polyomaviridae family and their relation to human disease. Seroepidemiological studies show...
متن کاملPrevalence of human KI and WU polyomaviruses in children with acute respiratory tract infection in China.
The KI and WU polyomaviruses were found in 11 (2.7%) and 17 (4.2%) of 406 nasopharyngeal aspirates, respectively, from children with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI). The phylogenetic analysis indicates that they are all in the same cluster as the prototype strains. Our findings suggest that they are common in children with ARTI in China.
