Abstract
BK virus (BKV), a human polyomavirus that remains latent in renal epithelial cells, can be reactivated after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) leading to hemorrhagic cystitis. The incidence of BK viremia is higher after Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) than HSCT from adult donors. Data regarding the role of immune recovery after UCBT in BKV reactivation is lacking. We examined the correlation between the development of BK...
