Correlation between the presence of degenerated inclusion-bearing cells in voided urine samples and the occurrence of polyomavirus infection

Objective The purpose of the present, prospective, cohort study was to monitor urine cytology samples from recipients of renal transplants to search for the occurrence of decoy cells and degenerated inclusion‐bearing cells with an aim to correlate the existence of these cells with molecular detection of polyomavirus BK (BKV) DNA in urine.
