Mangana, J; Dziunycz, P; Kerl, K; Dummer, R; Cozzio, A (2010). Prevalence of Merkel cell polyomavirus among Swiss Merkel cell carcinoma patients. Dermatology, 221(2):184-188.
We detected viral DNA in 20 out of 30 cases of MCC and in 0 out of 19 control samples. The presence of viral DNA in 66.6% of our MCC tissue specimens confirms the high prevalence of MCPyV in MCC patients described in American, German, French and Hungarian patient collections.
