چکیده

CMV: cytomegalovirus JC: John Cunningham PCR: polymerase chain reaction INTRODUCTION Solid organ transplant recipients require constant immunosuppression to prevent graft failure of the transplanted organ. As a result, patients are at high risk for infections, some that are extremely rare and uncommon with unusual presentations. Herein, we describe a pancreatic transplant patient who suffered from an infection from a novel polyomavirus resulting in a unique constellation of symptoms and skin manifestations. This patient and novel polyomavirus have been previously reported but we revisit the case to highlight the dermatologic manifestations for dermatology providers who may similar patients.

Monitoring subtypes of the human polyomavirus BK in Iranian adult kidney transplant patients

BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus with seroprevalence in adults, ranging from 60 to 100%. It is considered as usual cause of renal dysfunction after the allograft renal transplantation nephropathy. Potent immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation can lower the rate of acute rejection. Therefore, untreated BKV infections lead to kidney allograft dysfunction or loss. In order to estimate...

Identification of a novel polyomavirus in a pancreatic transplant recipient with retinal blindness and vasculitic myopathy.

BACKGROUND A 33 year-old pancreatic transplant recipient developed weakness, retinal blindness, and necrotic plaques on her face, scalp, and hands. METHODS A muscle biopsy was analyzed by light and electron microscopy and high-throughput nucleic acid sequencing. RESULTS The biopsy revealed microthrombosis and viral particles in swollen endothelial cell nuclei. High-throughput sequencing of ...

Complete Genome Sequence of BK Polyomavirus Subtype Ib-1 Detected in a Kidney Transplant Patient with BK Viremia Using Shotgun Sequencing

We report here the complete genome sequence of polyomavirus BK subtype Ib-1, isolate AR11, identified in urine from a human kidney transplant recipient with a clinical diagnosis of BK viremia. The AR11 isolate is closely related to reference strain human polyomavirus 1 isolate J2B-2 with 99% identity.

Seroprevalence of Trichodysplasia Spinulosa–associated Polyomavirus

We identified a new polyomavirus in skin lesions from a patient with trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS). Apart from TS being an extremely rare disease, little is known of its epidemiology. On the basis of knowledge regarding other polyomaviruses, we anticipated that infections with trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus (TSV) occur frequently and become symptomatic only in immunocompromi...

Prospective study of the human polyomaviruses BK and JC and cytomegalovirus in renal transplant recipients.

Forty eight renal transplant recipients were investigated prospectively for evidence of infection with the polyomaviruses BK and JC and cytomegalovirus. An active polyomavirus infection was shown in 31 patients (65%) and cytomegalovirus in 30 (62.5%). Half of the BK and JC virus infections occurred within the first three months after transplantation compared with 93% of the cytomegalovirus infe...
