| serum antibodies to jc virus, bk virus, simian virus 40, and the risk of incident adult astrocytic brain tumors. | genomic sequences of the human polyomaviruses, jc virus (jcv) and bk virus (bkv), and simian virus 40 (sv40) have been reported from several types of human brain tumors, but there have been no population-based seroepidemiologic studies to evaluate the association between polyomavirus infection and brain tumors. we conducted a case-control study, nested within a prospective cohort, to investigate the association between antibodies to jcv, bkv, and sv40, as measured in serum collected 1-22 years b ... | 2003 | 12750243 |
| bk virus nephropathy diagnosis and treatment: experience at the university of maryland renal transplant program. | the first case of bk virus allograft nephropathy at the university of maryland renal transplant program was diagnosed in 1997. since then more than 100 cases have been identified. the incidence of bkan has increased from 1% for patients transplanted in 1997 to 5.8% for patients transplanted in 2001. bkan is an important cause of premature kidney graft loss at the university of maryland transplant program. one-third of the patients diagnosed with bkan since 1997 have already lost graft function, ... | 2002 | 12971444 |
| markers of past infection with simian virus 40 (sv40) and risk of incident non-hodgkin lymphoma in a maryland cohort. | simian virus 40 (sv40) genome sequences have been detected in human non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) tissues, and past infection with sv40 may be a risk factor for nhl. we conducted a population-based nested case-control study to investigate the association between serum antibodies to sv40 and incident nhl. two research serum banks were established in washington county, md, with >45,000 volunteers contributing blood samples collected in 1974 and 1989. incident cases of nhl diagnosed through 2002 (n = ... | 2005 | 15941954 |
