Symptomatic BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infections are common and relevant in immunocompromised patients. Here, we present full-length BKPyV genomes from samples from patients who received hematopoietic cell transplants in the United States. These individuals had non-subtype I BKPyV, as determined by amplification, next-generation sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis.
