BK Virus Infection (BKV) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “BK Virus Infection (BKV) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032" covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential BK Virus infection treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

BK Virus Infection (BKV) Overview

BK polyomavirus (BKV) belongs to the Polyomaviridae family of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses. BKV is a common childhood infection that rarely leads to severe clinical consequences, and over 80% of adults have antibodies against BKV. BKV remains latent after the primary infection in healthy individuals and does not cause significant morbidity. However, in some immunosuppressed individuals, such as those with HIV infection or who have undergone transplantation, BKV may reactivate and cause clinical complications. Among these patients, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are the most commonly affected, with a median of 19.5% developing BK viremia after transplantation. BKV enters the bloodstream through infected tonsillar tissue, infecting peripheral blood mononuclear cells and spreading to secondary sites of infection, such as the kidney. BKV DNA has been detected in leukocytes, lymph nodes, and the brain. The mechanisms underlying viral persistence and reactivation upon immunosuppression remain unclear. The major clinical manifestations of BKV infection are BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) or ureteric stenosis in KTRs and hemorrhagic cystitis, mostly seen in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Other less common clinical manifestations of BKV infection include interstitial pneumonitis and meningoencephalitis. Donor BKV seropositivity and recipient BKV seronegativity increase the risk of developing BKVAN and graft rejection, with a tenfold higher risk of BK viremia in KTRs when the donor is seropositive, and the recipient is seronegative, compared to cases where both are seronegative.

• Currently, no antiviral medications have strong evidence of clinical efficacy against BKV.
