Hemorrhagic cystitis has been frequently attributed to high-dose cyclophosphamide, but viral agents responsible for the hemorrhage are being recognized. In particular, cytomegalovirus is a frequent cause of infection in bone marrow transplant patients and has commonly been associated with hemorrhagic cystitis. We describe a case in which hemorrhagic cystitis was the initial clinical presentation; other features included glycosuria and proteinuria, and renal biopsy showed a tubulointerstitial nephritis due to cytomegalovirus.A 19-year-old white woman with a...References1.
