I. the polyomavirus working group

 

The 2009 Banff "Polyomavirus Nephropathy Working Group" conducted a survey to test the inter-reproducibility of their proposed staging system for Polyomavirus Nephropathy.  The staging system, 20 representative self-study cases with virtual slides as well as the correct answers to the survey questions are available by clicking here. 

 

Dr. Nickeleit presented preliminary findings from the survey and the working group's corresponding clinico-pathologic study at the 2011 Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology.  You can access a video of that presentation by clicking here.
