What is BK Virus?
The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. Past infection with the BK virus is widespread, but significant consequences of infection are uncommon, with the exception of the immunocompromised immunosuppressed.
-
Signs and symptoms
The BK virus rarely causes disease but is typically associated with patients who have had a kidney transplant; many people who are infected with this virus are asymptomatic. If symptoms do appear, they tend to be mild: respiratory infection or fever.
-
Transmission
It is not known how this virus is transmitted. It is known, however, that the virus is spread from person to person, and not from an animal source. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine since infected individuals periodically excrete the virus in the urine.
-
Diagnosis
This virus can be diagnosed by a BKV blood test or a urine test for decoy cells, in addition to carrying out a biopsy in the kidneys. PCR techniques are often carried out to identify the virus.
-
Treatment
The cornerstone of therapy is a reduction in immunosuppression. A recent surge in BKVAN correlates with the use of potent immunosuppressant drugs, such as tacrolimus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Studies have not shown any correlation between BKVAN and a single immunosuppressive agent but rather the overall immunosuppressive load.
-
Risk factors
Renal transplant patients, the necessary use of immunosuppressive drugs has the side-effect of allowing the virus to replicate within the graft, a disease called BK nephropathy From 1–10% of renal transplant patients progress to BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and up to 80% of these patients lose their grafts.
