Virus Isolation from the Kidney, Tumors and Lymph Nodes of Patients with Ben

This paper is based on two recent publications (1,2), and one submitted for publication (submittted for publication). There is an important correction. In the two previous publications in Nephron it was stated that the virus isolated from the kidneys, the tumors and metastatic lymph glands was classified as a coronavirus (1,2). Subsequent more detailed investigations revealed that the virus should not be identified as a coronavirus (submittted for publication). However, the evidence presented in this work suggests strongly that the newly isolated virus is involved in the ethyology of BEN. The new findings open the possibility of reassessment of this still mysterious disease.
