Trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus causes trichodysplasia spinulosa, a skin infection, in immunocompromised persons, but the virus is rarely detected in respiratory samples. Using PCR, we detected persistent virus in respiratory and skin samples from an immunocompromised boy with respiratory signs but no characteristic skin spicules. This virus may play a role in respiratory illness.
棘层松解性毛发角化瘤多瘤病毒可引起免疫功能低下者棘层松解性毛发角化瘤,即一种皮肤感染,但该病毒在呼吸道样本中很少被检测到。采用 PCR 法,我们从 1 例有呼吸道症状但无特征性棘刺的免疫功能低下男孩的呼吸道和皮肤样本中检测到持续存在的病毒。该病毒可能在呼吸道疾病中发挥作用。
