Abstrakt

The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of new polyomaviruses KIPyV and WUPyV in the Polish population in the Lublin region. In it, we demonstrated that the prevalence of this viruses is low - 1.1% WU and 3.4% KI. The viruses are most commonly detected in materials from the respiratory tract, both in children and the elderly. Polyomaviruses KI and WU in co-infection, often occur with other respiratory viruses (influenza, enterovirus).
