A new real-time PCR assay for trichodysplasia spinulosa–associated polyomavirus(TSPyV) DNA detection was designed, and blood samples from kidney transplantrecipients and healthy individuals were screened. TSPyV-DNA was not detected in blood from healthy individuals, but 26.8% of kidney recipients presented TSPyV-DNA. This is the first report of TSPyV viremia.
