JC polyomavirus ( JCP yV)‐associated nephropathy ( JCP y VAN ) occurs in <3% of PVAN cases after renal transplantation. We report the first confirmed case to our knowledge of JCP y VAN diagnosed by kidney biopsy in the early 6 months post transplant in Thailand. In this case report, recovery of renal allograft function was not observed after reduction of immunosuppressive agents and administration of intravenous immunoglobulin and cidofovir. Despite persistent JCP yV viruria, no significant further decline in allograft function was documented at 15 months post transplant.
