Title: BK papova virus pneumonia following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Cord-id: d1nxsysd Document date: 1997_12_18
ID: d1nxsysd
Snippet: BK papova virus infection is frequently seen after bone marrow transplantation as a causative agent of hemorrhagic cystitis. We report an 8-month-old child with osteopetrosis who died of a severe interstitial pneumonia after receiving an unrelated umbilical cord transplant. On autopsy, BK virus was detected in the lung tissue using immunofluorescence assay, cell culture and PCR. No other pathogens were recovered. BK virus infection should be considered as a cause of interstitial pneumonia in chi
