Persistent infection with human polyomavirus revealed by urinary cytology in a patient with heart transplantation. A case report.

BACKGROUND: Management after heart transplantation must deal with the twin risks of rejection and infection. Early infection with viral infection, particularly cytomegalovirus (CMV), is becoming more prevalent two to three months after transplantation. To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of human polyomavirus (HPOV) infection after heart transplantation. CASE: A 20-year-old male with a history of Kawasaki disease and who had suffered from severe congestive heart failure after a coronary artery bypass graft, underwent heart transplantation. Urinary cytology demonstrated HPOV infection, the diagnosis of which was established by the immunoperoxidase technique, in situ hybridization and electron microscopy. CONCLUSION: The definitive diagnosis of HPOV infection after a heart transplant can be made on urinary cytology.

Hantaan virus persistently infects marmoset B-lymphoblastoid cell line.

To investigate lymphoid cell Hantavirus (HV) interaction, we examined the replication of the HV strains, Hantaan 76-118 (HTN), SR-11, and B-1 with the B95a, LYM-1, CGM1, JM, Jurkat, MOLT-4, AT(L)5KY, BW5147, L1210, and Vero/E6 cells. HV-growth was determined by immunofluorescence and focus-forming assays. LYM-1 and Vero/E6 supported the growth of all HV strains, and B95a only HTN, while remaining cells did not sustain these strains. This is the first report to indicate the HV-replication in lymphoid cell lines. B95a and LYM-1 cells may be useful for revealing the mechanism of HV-infection in animals.
