Abstract
Like BKPyV, JCPyV tends to occur early post transplantation but did not result in sustained viraemia. There was no deterioration of renal function in patients positive for JCPyV. As with other viruses, JCPyV donor serostatus was a risk factor for detection of JCPyV DNA. JCPyV appears to protect individuals from BKPyV infection, as recipients were twice as likely to develop BKPyV with a negative JCPyV donor.
