Latent viral infections in young patients with inflammatory diseases treated with biological agents: prevalence of JC virus genotype 2.

abstract：:Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) has been described as circulating among the Uruguayan population at least since 1998 based on serologic evidence. However, no isolation attempts, molecular detection, or genetic studies have been carried out so far in the country. In the present study, molecular detection of circulating hM...
