English Abstract
Journal Article
Once adenovirus infection extends to the kidney from the bladder in the immunosuppressive state after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, most patients develop acute renal failure due to adenovirus-associated necrotizing tubulointerstitial nephritis. In the 6 years from 2000 to 2006, we retrospectively investigated the characteristics of adenovirus infection in 402 patients who had received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our hospital. The incidence of adenovirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in patients who had received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 3.5% (14/402). Among these 14 patients, 4 developed acute necrotizing tubulointerstitial nephritis all of whom died, which yielded the incidence and mortality rates of the disease of 1.0% and 100%, respectively. Once adenovirus infection extends to major organs in a rapid manner, the patient's general condition becomes fatal. Further study is necessary to establish the diagnosis and treatment of adenoviral infections in a compromised host.
