Merkel cell polyomavirus DNA detection in respiratory samples: study of a cohort of patients affected by cystic fibrosis.

BACKGROUND:
The role of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) as a respiratory pathogen is controversial, and it is still unclear in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of this study was to define the MCPyV prevalence and epidemiology in CF patients in order to gain new insights into the association between MCPyV infection and respiratory diseases.
