TI  - Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in renal and simultaneous pancreas-kidney 
      transplant recipients: report of three cases.
PG  - 94-7
AB  - Infection with polyomavirus (BK virus) is the cause of renal graft losses in more 
      than 50% of the infected cases. There should be a high index of suspicion about 
      this disease, although the incidence is only between 2% and 5% as the future of 
      renal graft depends on the early and appropriate management of the same. Herein, 
      we describe three clinical cases: Two were those of kidney transplant and the 
      third, a combined kidney-pancreas transplant. In these cases, by reducing 
      immunosuppression and, in one case, replacing the calcineurin inhibitor by MTOR 
      (mammalian target of rapamycin) in addition, we were able to preserve of the 
      normal function of the transplanted organs.
