Rapid Detection of Trichodysplasia Spinulosa-Associated Polyomavirus in Skin Biopsy Specimen

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.
