Multiorgan WU Polyomavirus Infection in Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient. 2016

Erica A Siebrasse, and Nang L Nguyen, and Melisa J Willby, and Dean D Erdman, and Marilyn A Menegus, and David Wang

WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) was detected in a bone marrow transplant recipient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome who died in 2001. Crystalline lattices of polyomavirus-like particles were observed in the patient's lung by electron microscopy. WUPyV was detected in the lung and other tissues by real-time quantitative PCR and identified in the lung and trachea by immunohistochemistry. A subset of WUPyV-positive cells in the lung had morphologic features of macrophages. Although the role of WUPyV as a human pathogen remains unclear, these results clearly demonstrate evidence for infection of respiratory tract tissues in this patient.
