ABSTRACT

Currently, the number of kidney transplants had increased around the world caused there are more live-related donors and the surgical technique has been improved. Although, the immunosuppressive therapy related infectious diseases are still a challenge for the physicians to diagnose and treat. The infection with BK virus presents almost exclusively in patients with a kidney transplant and is related with rejection of the renal graft; so it’s recommended to determine the viral load in blood or urine in a routinely way for an early diagnose and treatment to avoid this complication. We present a case report of a man that underwent kidney transplantation and 4 years later developed an infection with BK virus in urinary tract that conditioned renal graft rejection. In this article, we make a review of epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of the infection of BK virus.
