    (2014) Colakoglu, Sule; Dursun, Hasan; Cengiz, Nurcan; Bulat, Meryem Cosar; Noyan, Aytul; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8817-494X; 24726687; AAB-7105-2020; GPX-7059-2022; AAD-5713-2021
    In renal transplant recipients, BK polyomavirus (BKV) is linked to nephropathy. BK virus genotypes have a strong geographic component. This paper presents the African variant of BKV in a Turkish renal transplant patient, which is a rare cause of infection in the Northern Hemisphere and, to our knowledge, the first case from Turkey.

    Molecular Methods for Detection of Invasive Fungal Infections and Mycobacteria and Their Clinical Significance in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
    (2014) Yurdakul, Pinar; Colakoglu, Sule; 24473787
    Infection remains an important source of morbidity and mortality in patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In the immune reconstitution period after transplantation, HSCT recipients are most likely to have bacterial or fungal infections. Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and mycobacterial infections (MBIs) are among the complications of HSCT, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Early diagnosis of both is crucial in order to manipulate the disease and to avoid fulminant outcomes. This chapter reviews the current knowledge on the molecular diagnosis of IFIs and MBIs in HSCT recipients, describing two different polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods, one commercial (qPCR, Roche) and one in-house IS6110-based protocol.
