Abbreviations: BKV=BK virus; CI=confidence interval; HPyV6=human polyoma virus 6; HPyV7=human polyoma virus 7; HPyV10=human polyoma virus 10; JCV=JC virus; MCV=Merkel cell polyoma virus; n=number; TSV=trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyoma virus.

Seropositivity for each polyomavirus VP1 defined as MFI⩾250 and MFI⩾400 for each TAg (except for MCV small TAg where seropositive if MFI⩾200).

Odds ratio cannot be calculated as 100% seropositivity for polyomavirus in cases.
