BK Virus Infection (BKV) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032

BK polyomavirus (BKV) belongs to the Polyomaviridae family of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses. BKV is a common childhood infection that rarely leads to severe clinical consequences, and over 80% of adults have antibodies against BKV. BKV remains latent after the primary infection in healthy individuals and does not cause significant morbidity. However, in some immunosuppressed individuals, such as those with HIV infection or who have undergone transplantation, BKV may reactivate and cause clinical complications. Among these patients, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are the most commonly affected, with a median of 19.5% developing BK viremia after transplantation. BKV enters the bloodstream through infected tonsillar tissue, infecting peripheral blood mononuclear cells and spreading to secondary sites of infection, such as the kidney. BKV DNA has been detected in leukocytes, lymph nodes, and the brain. The mechanisms underlying viral persistence and reactivation upon immunosuppression remain unclear. The major clinical manifestations of BKV infection are BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) or ureteric stenosis in KTRs and hemorrhagic cystitis, mostly seen in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Other less common clinical manifestations of BKV infection include interstitial pneumonitis and meningoencephalitis. Donor BKV seropositivity and recipient BKV seronegativity increase the risk of developing BKVAN and graft rejection, with a tenfold higher risk of BK viremia in KTRs when the donor is seropositive, and the recipient is seronegative, compared to cases where both are seronegative.

·       Currently, no antiviral medications have strong evidence of clinical efficacy against BKV.

Acne Vulgaris – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032

Image
  Acne vulgaris, a prevalent pilosebaceous unit inflammatory skin disorder, follows a persistent course. Typically presenting as papules, pustules, or nodules, it primarily occurs on the face but can also impact the upper arms, trunk, and back. The development of acne results from the sebaceous glands' heightened sensitivity to normal androgen levels, aggravated by Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes), a bacterial species that triggers inflammation. The pathogenesis of acne vulgaris involves a complex interplay of factors such as the activation of sebaceous glands by androgens, imbalances in the pilosebaceous follicle microbiome, and cellular immune responses. Genetic predisposition and dietary influences also contribute to the condition's onset and progression. The initial stage is the micro-comedo, a small plug primarily composed of corneocytes in the lower follicular infundibulum. Microcomedones evolve into various acne lesions, including closed co...

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Image
 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes an infection that affects the external genitalia, anal region, mucosal surfaces, and skin in other body parts. Herpes simplex virus is a ubiquitous, host-adapted pathogen that causes various disease states. There are two types of HSV with two distinct DNA viruses, type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Both the types are closely related but differ epidemiologically. HSV-1 is traditionally associated with orofacial disease by affecting the mouth and lips with fever blisters and cold sores, whereas HSV-2 is associated traditionally with genital disease infecting genitals and rectum area with sores and is classified as STD (sexually transmitted disease). As HSV-1 is associated with genital infections more often than HSV-2, lesion location is not necessarily of viral type. HSV can spread through direct contact. Almost 80% of Herpes simplex infections are asymptomatic, while symptomatic infections can be characterized by significant morbidity and recurrenc...
