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...

BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a major complication of high-dose cyclophosphamide therapy used in the preparative regimen for allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation. Several viruses (adenovirus, cytomegalovirus and polyomavirus BK) have also been implicated in the etiology of HC. No one established method of treatment is as yet available. MATERIALS AND METHODS HC develo...
متن کاملBone marrow stromal cells and their application in neural injuries
Background: This article reviews experimental and clinical studies in which neural injuries repaired with bone marrow stromal cells. History: Bone marrow contains two kinds of stem cells: hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic (stromal) stem cell. In vitro studies indicate that bone marrow stromal cells have the capacity of differentiation into other cells (such as neural cell) under treatment wit...
متن کاملBK 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. ...
