Rare BK polyomavirus subtype III detected in hematopoietic cell transplant recipient
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is associated with disease in transplant patients. BKPyV genomic diversity is thought to contribute to functional differences in virulence factors. Here, we present the near full-length BKPyV genome sequence from a patient who underwent hematopoietic cell transplant and was infected with subtype III, a rare subtype.
