Abstract

BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection can lead to nephropathy and hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). We evaluated BKPyV genotypes in two individuals after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). The first case developed HC and was infected with genotype Ib-2, while the second did not develop HC and was infected with genotype Ia.

Representative BKPyV genome sequences were downloaded from GenBank, and phylogenetic inference was performed in BEAST version 1.10.1 (10). Sequences for cases 1 and 2 are highlighted in red, while GenBank references are labeled by their accession number and country of origin. Genotypes 2, 3, and 4 are shown in blue. The nodes separating all genotypes are highlighted with closed circles.
