Trichodysplasia Spinulosa Polyomavirus Endothelial Infection, California, USA. Emerging infectious diseases Lawrence, L., Wang, A., Charville, G., Toland, A., Pinsky, B., Natkunam, Y., Younes, S., Stehr, H., Gratzinger, D. 2022; 28 (9): 1935-1937

Abstract

We describe 3 patients in California, USA, with trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus (TSPyV) infection of endothelium after steroid administration. We detected TSPyV RNA in tissue specimens by in situ hybridization, which revealed localization to endothelial cells. These cases suggest that diseases associated with endothelial inflammation could be associated with TSPyV infection.
