We present a patient with virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis who underwent kidney and allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (allo-HSCT). Six months post-allo-HSCT, adenovirus hemorrhagic cystitis occurred, which has been in remission after a single dose of intravesical cidofovir. This might cause prolonged neutropenia and nephrotoxicity, suggesting cidofovir absorption in the blood.
