Title: BK virus-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Author: Inaba H, Jones DP, Gaber LW, Shenep JL, Call SK, Pui CH, Razzouk BI. Journal: J Pediatr; 2007 Aug; 151(2):215-7. PubMed ID: 17643782. Abstract: We report a case of BK virus-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Primary BK virus infection was exacerbated by chemotherapy-induced immunodeficiency. Careful administration of chemotherapy and anti-viral therapy prevented further damage. This diagnosis should be considered in children who experience renal dysfunction during cancer treatment.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
