Hemorrhagic Cystitis in a Liver Transplant Recipient Secondary to BK Virus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The association between BK virus infection and hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients is well established. However, BK virus-associated HC has not been described in liver transplant (LT) recipients. We present a case of BK virus-associated HC in a LT recipient. Our patient presented with worsening liver function tests 2 years after transplantation and was found to have acute cellular rejection. He was treated with increased immunosuppression and subsequently developed hematuria. He was eventually diagnosed with BK virus-associated HC.

BK Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis in Children Suffering from Malignancies: Report of Three Cases
BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is frequent in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation, but it rarely occurs among other immunosuppressed patients particularly in those who are receiving chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies. Herein, we report three children with malignancies suffering from hemorrhagic cystitis due to BK virus infection who were successfully improved. ...
متن کاملIntravesical instillation of cidofovir in the treatment of hemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus type 11 in a bone marrow transplant recipient.
Hemorrhagic cystitis that occurs late after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in BMT recipients is often associated with adenovirus or polyomavirus BK infections. Intravesical instillation of cidofovir in a BMT recipient with intractable hemorrhagic cystitis resulted in clinical improvement. Local cidofovir therapy for viral hemorrhagic cystitis could be an alternative to intravenous administra...
متن کاملBK virus encephalitis without concurrent hemorrhagic cystitis in an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient
TO THE EDITOR: The BK virus (BKV) is a human polyomavirus of the Papovaviridae family and causes clinical disease mainly in immunocompromised hosts such as patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus or transplant recipients [1]. Only a few cases of BKV encephalitis have been reported in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant recipients, with the majority of cases presenting with conc...
متن کاملPrevalence of viral infections and hemorrhagic cystitis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.
OBJECTIVES About 7% to 70% of hemorrhagic cystitis is classified as early and late-onset incidence in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. The association between the prevalence of viral infections and hemorrhagic cystitis was evaluated in pretransplant and posttransplant recipients and donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid-treated blood and urine samples of 3...

Hemorrhagic cystitis is a common complication in allogeneic bone marrow transplant recipients [1]. The association of BK virus cystitis and allogeneic bone marrow transplant was first described two decades ago [2]. The incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis in allogeneic bone marrow transplant patients is reported up to 70%, while BK viruria after allogeneic bone marrow transplant is detected in 50 ...
