Abstract:
:JC virus (JCV) is a human polyomavirus that exists in at least eight different genotypes as a result of coevolution with different human populations all over the world. Well adapted to its host, it usually persists in the kidneys and possibly the brain. If the host becomes immunodeficient, JCV can cause the fatal demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). There is increasing evidence that JCV is transactivated by cytomegalovirus (CMV) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Both CMV and HIV can infect the retina of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, causing severe necrosis in the case of CMV retinitis or a mild HIV-associated vasculopathy, with bleeding and cotton wool spots. The authors therefore investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) whether DNA of these three viruses was detectable in paraffin-embedded eyes of AIDS patients with a clinical history of CMV retinitis. From a total of 65 eyes, JCV was detected in 21 (32%). Thirty-six (55%) were positive for CMV and 6 (9%) for proviral DNA of HIV. JCV and CMV were found in 13 eyes, JCV and HIV in 3 eyes, CMV and HIV in 1 eye, and DNA from all three viruses in 1 eye. The JCV genotypes were types 1A, 2A, 2E, 3, and 4. In 21 eyes of patients without AIDS, only one sample was JCV positive. In conclusion, JCV DNA can be detected in ocular tissue of AIDS patients at a significantly higher level than in eyes of nonimmunosuppressed patients. Further investigations will help to decide if JCV contributes to the retinopathy caused by CMV and HIV.
