Management of severe BK viremia in a patient receiving a kidney transplant from a hepatitis C virus-positive donor: A case report
CONCLUSION: Utilization of organs from HCV-positive donors in HCV-negative recipients allows for expansion of the donor pool and facilitates shorter times on the waitlist. Although initial data in HCV-discordant transplantation did not find an increased risk for opportunistic infections, more recent studies have shown that such risk may be present. This case report describes a patient who developed BK viremia and eventual allograft failure after an HCV-discordant transplantation.PMID:37793014 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxad250 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 2040: Mathematical Modeling of Rhesus Cytomegalovirus Transplacental Transmission in Seronegative Rhesus Macaques
Cliburn Chan
Approximately 0.7% of infants are born with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV), making it the most common congenital infection. About 1 in 5 congenitally infected babies will suffer long-term sequelae, including sensorineural deafness, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. CMV infection is highly species-dependent, and the rhesus CMV (RhCMV) infection of rhesus monkey fetuses is the only animal model that replicates essential features of congenital CMV (cCMV) infection in humans, including placental transmission, fetal disease, and fetal loss. Using experimental data from RhCMV seronegative rhesus macaque...
