  • Title: The use of vidarabine in the treatment of human polyomavirus associated acute haemorrhagic cystitis.
    Author: Chapman C, Flower AJ, Durrant ST.
    Journal: Bone Marrow Transplant; 1991 Jun; 7(6):481-3. PubMed ID: 1651795.
    Abstract:
    The human BK and JC polyomaviruses are known to be reactivated and excreted in the urine following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). A proportion of patients who excrete BK virus following BMT experience a haemorrhagic cystitis (HC), which may persist for many months. We report a case of human polyomavirus-associated HC, in whom treatment with vidarabine was associated with a dramatic response.
