BK Polyomavirus and Thrombotic Microangiopathy After Stem Cell Transplant: Current Knowledge and Unmet Needs

BK Polyomavirus and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) are significant complications following stem cell transplantation, leading to serious health risks. In this presentation, Dr. Ben Laskin, Dr. Sonata Jodele, and Dr. Steve Kleiboeker discuss the current understanding of these conditions and highlight gaps in knowledge and treatment strategies. While advances have been made in diagnosing and managing BK virus-related complications, unmet needs remain in effectively addressing TMA.
