NOTE. Data are no. of patients, unless otherwise noted. For statistical analyses, polyomavirus-excreting patients were compared with polyomavirus-nonexcreting patients, BK virus (BKV)–excreting patients were compared with BKV-nonexcreting patients, and simian virus 40 (SV40)–excreting patients were compared with SV40-nonexcreting patients. Excepting SV40-nonexcreting male patients vs. SV40-nonexcreting female patients (P =.022 ), for all characteristics, P ≥.05 (χ2 test).
