Abstract

The role of viral diversity in the pathogenesis of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated disease is poorly understood. Here, we report near full-length BKPyV genome sequences from two allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant recipients infected with BKPyV genotype II, which is uncommon in the USA.

Keywords: BK polyomavirus; genotype; hematopoietic cell transplant; hemorrhagic cystitis; viral diversity.
