Is polyomavirus BK the cause of hemorrhagic cystopathy in patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is characterized by painful hematuria attributed to inflammation of the bladder urothelium. The incidence is 12.2%. The clinical characteristics of HC range from microscopic hematuria to severe bleeding with clot retention and even renal failure. It is an important cause of occasional morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing bone marrow transplant. Several predisposing factors have been associated.

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 ...

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...

BK viras is a human polyoma viras. It is acquired in early childhood and remains life-long latent in the genitourinary system. BK virus replication is more common in receiving immunosuppressive therapy receiving patients and transplant patients. BK virus could cause hemorrhagic cystitis in patients with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Hemorrhagic cystitis is a serious complication of hema...

BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic cystitis is a common cause of morbidity after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, frequently associated with BK virus infection. We hypothesized that patients with positive BK viruria before unrelated or mismatched related donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have a higher incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis. DESIGN AND METHODS To test this hypothesi...

BK virus (BKV) hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (allo-HSCT) in patients with hematological malignancies. Around half of allogenic HSCT patients present with BKV viruria at some point after HSCT; about 5-40% of these patients subsequently develop active HC. Supportive care including bladder irrigation, blood transfusions a...
