Clinical features of BK-polyomavirus and cytomegalovirus co-infection after kidney transplantation

Abstract BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are the main viral pathogens affecting the graft and recipient outcome after allogenic kidney transplantation. It has recently been found that infection with both viruses has a greater impact on kidney graft function than a single infection....
