AbstractThe association of polyomaviruria and microscopic haematuria was studied by the use of electron microscopy (EM) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients. The incidence of BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) excretion was further elucidated by means of restriction enzyme analysis of the PCR products. Polyomaviruses were detected in 43 (51.2%) of the 84 samples, 13 (30.2%) of which had a virus concentration detectable by EM. By typing with BamHI cleavage, 29 (67.4%) of the 43 positive patients were found to be excreting only BKV and the remaining 14% (32.6%) were excreting both BKV and JCV. Microscopic haematuria was present in 17 (20.2%) of 84 urine samples collected from different patients within 4 months post-transplant. The incidence of microscopic haematuria was significantly higher, 34.9% (P < 0.01), in patients with polyomaviruria than in those without (4.9%) but no difference was observed between the BKV-excreting and BKV/JCV-co-excreting patients. Microscopic haematuria was not present, however, in 53.8 and 65.2% of polyomavirus-excreting patients when virus was detected by EM and PCR respectively. While most episodes of microscopic haematuria observed were self-limiting and asymptomatic, three patients excreting polyomavirus had symptoms of cystitis and one of them had renal impairment that was otherwise unexplained. We thus conclude that polyomaviruses probably contribute to damage of urinary tract tissue in some BMT recipients.
