title: Hemorrhagic cystitis associated with herpes simplex virus.
abstract: A 45-year-old man presented with hemorrhagic cystitis and was found to have herpes simplex infection of the bladder by biopsy, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The patient had no clinical evidence of immunosuppression or disseminated infection. Although viral etiologies of hemorrhagic cystitis are recognized, to our knowledge only 4 cases of hemorrhagic cystitis due to herpes simplex virus have been reported.
