Introduction: BK virus associated hemorrhagic cystitis(BKV-AHC) is a serious complication observed after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and the current therapeutic options are scarce with substantial renal side effects. Although the guidelines recommend intravenous cidofovir application with caution to nephrotoxicity, there are few studies which investigated intravesical administration and reported similar therapeutic results with less renal side effects.

Methods: We administered low dose, daily and consecutive (75 mg/day, for 5 days) intravesical cidofovir to 25 patients with BKV-AHC that developed after (ASCT).

BK virus rarely causes disease but is typically associated with patients who have had a transplant. The cornerstone of therapy is reduction in immunosuppression. A recent surge in BKVAN correlates with use of potent immunosuppressant drugs, such as tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil.

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in both children and adults has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Early HC can occur within 48 hours of completing the chemotherapy conditioning regimen, is usually associated with agents such as cyclophosphamide, and generally resolves promptly. Late HC is commonly associated with BK and other viruses and can prove refractory to antiviral and supportive therapy.
