BK polyomavirus infection after renal transplantation: Surveillance in a resource‐challenged setting

There is a paucity of data available about BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection after renal transplantation (RTX) in resource‐limited countries with a predominantly living‐donor, ABO‐compatible RTX program. We aimed to assess BKPyV infection in such patients in a public hospital in India.
