Abstract
We report on 4 male patients with acute hemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus following renal transplantation. These patients showed symptoms of gross hematuria, urinary frequency, burning urination and fever. Adenovirus was isolated in all patients and 3 were positive for serotype 11. Complement-fixing antibody was positive for adenovirus in all cases. Acute hemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus was self-limiting and reduction of immunosuppression was not required for its resolution. Clinical presentation of these patients is described and the literature is reviewed.
