Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN), an important cause of allograft failure in renal transplant recipients, is usually diagnosed within 12 months of renal transplantation. Bansal et al. present a case of PVAN that developed more than 80 months after transplantation, however, highlighting the fact that PVAN can occur late after transplantation and should be considered in any renal transplant recipient who experiences a change in renal function.
