title: Acute haemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus type 11 in a recipient of a transplanted kidney.
abstract: A case of haemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus type 11, which occurred in a female patient 13 weeks after renal transplantation is described. The patient lacked neutralising antibody to adenovirus type 11 before transplantation, but this antibody was present in the serum of the kidney donor. The patient developed antibody to adenovirus type 11, and this virus was isolated from her throat and urine. The data suggest that the infection was transmitted by the kidney graft.
