Abstract
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.
