| Core Tip |
BK virus (BKV) is a member of a family of viruses that cause various diseases in animals and humans. Severe disease in transplanted kidneys was the first recognized human disease caused by BKV. In more recent times, BKV was also recognized as a cause of disease in the native kidneys of patients who had received bone marrow, heart, lung, liver and pancreas transplants, as well as in the kidneys of patients with loss of resistance to infection, such as patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome or patients treated for malignant tumors. In addition to disease of the kidneys, BKV has also caused severe disease of the urinary bladder, the brain, the lungs, the gut and the blood. The diagnosis and particularly the management of infection by BKV present difficulties. Research for new medications specific for treating this infection is imperative.
