Abstract

Polyomaviruses (HPV: BKV or JCV)–induced late-onset hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a significant cause of morbidity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, issues facilitating HPV reactivation and related HC remain unclear. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and clinical implications of BKV and JCV infection in children after HSCT. One hundred forty two children (121 after allo- and 21 after auto-HSCT) were prospectively evaluated for BKV/JCV infection and HC.
