Molecular Characterization of BK Polyomavirus Replication in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Patients

Karoline Leuzinger et al.

Summary: In this study, the replication of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) was found to be associated with failing immune control and BKPyV-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Molecular markers of BKPyV replication and disease were identified through quantitative nucleic acid testing (QNAT), DNase-I treatment, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and cell-mediated immunity testing. The fragmentation of BKPyV genome below 250 bp was found to impair the detection of BKPyV diversity and genotype-associated changes involved in immune escape.

Impact of nucleic acid extraction procedures on human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and genotyping

Klaudia Naegele et al.

Summary: HPV infections are often asymptomatic, but certain genotypes can lead to cervical cancer. This study compared different nucleic acid extraction methods for detecting and genotyping HPV in cervical swabs with atypical cells. The results showed that centrifugation/enrichment improved HPV detection and genotyping accuracy. As multivalent HPV vaccine coverage increases, it is important to improve extraction methods and broaden genotype coverage to accurately detect the evolving HPV virome.

Evaluation of cytomegalovirus Blips in high-risk kidney/kidney-pancreas transplant recipients

Alexandra T. Payne et al.

Summary: In high-risk kidney/kidney-pancreas transplant recipients, CMV blips often progress to CMV DNAemia. This progression typically occurs 2-3 weeks after the initial blip. Despite prophylaxis, CMV blips are common early posttransplant and likely represent an early marker of CMV infection.

Cytomegalovirus in the transplant setting: Where are we now and what happens next? A report from the International CMV Symposium 2021

Camille N. Kotton et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the presentations given at the CMV Symposium in September 2021, focusing on CMV infection after solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The topics discussed include CMV epidemiology and diagnosis, the burden of CMV infection and disease, CMV-specific immunity, and management of CMV in transplant settings. Major advances in prevention and treatment of CMV, as well as increased understanding of CMV immunity, have led to improved patient outcomes. Future management algorithms may be personalized based on the immune profile of transplant recipients, marking a new era for CMV patients.

Pathogenesis of human cytomegalovirus in the immunocompromised host

Paul Griffiths et al.

Summary: HCMV infection is usually controlled by a vigorous immune response, but can cause serious organ diseases when the immune system is compromised. Significant progress has been made in understanding HCMV infection and disease, including defining the dynamics of viral replication and evaluating new antiviral drugs and vaccines.

Comparing cytomegalovirus diagnostics by cell culture and quantitative nucleic acid testing in broncho-alveolar lavage fluids

Karoline Leuzinger et al.

Summary: This study compared virus isolation in cell-culture and quantitative-nucleic-acid testing for cytomegalovirus, finding that the two methods may yield different results in detecting CMV replication, indicating the potential clinical value of QNAT in CMV diagnostics.
