Predictive Factors of BK Virus Development in Kidney Transplant Recipients and the Effect of Low-Dose Tacrolimus Plus Everolimus on Clinical Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: BK virus viremia/nephropathy rate was lower in patients who received low-dose calcineurin inhibitor plus mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor protocols; the low-dose tacrolimus plus everolimus switch protocol after BK virus was more effective and safe than other protocols.PMID:37885288 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0065 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

The Role of Viral Infection in the Pathogenesis of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is still unclear. The diagnosis of IC/BPS is made after ruling out bacterial cystitis. However, viral infection in the bladder might be a pathogenic factor for IC/BPS. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the association between viral infection and IC/BPS.Recent FindingsThe presence of urinary tract viruses in patients with IC/BPS has been sporadically investigated since the 1970s. Early studies used viral culture to investigate urine and bladder tissue samples from patients with IC/BPS, but viruses were rarely detecte...

Role of human papillomavirus and associated viruses in bladder cancer: An updated review
This study systematically reviews the relationship between HPV-associated viruses and BC to elucidate the role of these viruses in the onset and progression of BC. In addition, the study aims to provide a greater insight into the biology of HPV-associated viruses, and assess potential strategies for treating virus-induced BC. The study additionally focuses on the rapid development of oncolytic viruses that provide a potentially novel option for the treatment of BC.PMID:37706751 | DOI:10.1002/jmv.29088 (Source: Herpes)

Recurrent C3 Glomerulonephritis along with BK-Virus-Associated Nephropathy after Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report
Medicina (Kaunas). 2023 Jul 14;59(7):1308. doi: 10.3390/medicina59071308.ABSTRACTC3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) is a rare cause of end-stage kidney disease and frequently recurrent in allografts following kidney transplantation (KT). Herein, we describe the case of a kidney transplant recipient who developed recurrent C3GN along with BK-virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) following KT. A 33-year-old man diagnosed with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis 17 years ago underwent preemptive KT with a donor kidney from his aunt. Proteinuria gradually increased after 3 months following KT, and graft biopsy was performed 30 m...
