However, because some strains express different LPS antigens, serologic t...
متن کامل[BK viral infection after renal transplantation].
Viral infections have been a subject of great interest in patients after organ transplantations. Post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy is often associated with transfenction or reactivation of viruses. The human polyomavirus type I, also called BKvirus (BKV), causes polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) in 1-10% of renal transplant recipients. Thanks to increased PVAN awareness and imp...
