BK Virus Quantitative Test, PCR in Visakhapatnam

Overview

BK Virus or BKV Infection is the most common yet serious viral infection that can spread from one person to another during organ transplantation or from a mother to a baby during pregnancy. The problem with the virus is that it spreads via the blood and settles silently in the kidneys and sometimes the brain. Most of us get it in childhood, and it stays in the body asleep and wakes up only when the immune systems don't work appropriately. During that stage, it causes symptoms of an infection.
