Rapid detection of trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus in skin biopsy specimen.

ABSTRACT: Trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus (TSV) is responsible for a rare skin cancer. Using metagenomic approaches, we determined the complete genome sequence of a TSV first detected in Brazil in spicules of an immunocompromised patient suspected to have trichodysplasia spinulosa.
