Table 6 Shows a comparison between cases and controls based on the prevalence of BKV DNA in their tissue and urine samples (the specimens were examined by using a conventional PCR). P-value is significant at a level equal to or less than 0.05
Type of patients | PCR Result | Total | P-value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Positive | Negative | ||||
Tissue sample | Case | 16 (94%) | 1 (6%) | 17 (100%) | 0.023 |
Control | 2 (50%) | 2 (50%) | 4 (100%) | ||
Total | 18 | 3 | 21 | ||
Urine sample | Case | 1 (5.8%) | 16 (94.2%) | 17 (100%) | 0.002 |
Control | 3 (75%) | 1 (25%) | 4 (100%) | ||
