What are the Histological Differences between BKV and Other Viral Infections?
Histologically, BKV infection can be differentiated from other viral infections like cytomegalovirus (CMV) or adenovirus by the presence of specific intranuclear inclusions and the pattern of cellular injury. While CMV typically causes both nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions, BKV is restricted to nuclear changes. Adenovirus, on the other hand, often shows a smudgy nuclear appearance without distinct inclusions.
