Hemorrhagic cystitis and possible neurologic disease from BK virus infection in a patient with AIDS.
BK virus (BKV)-associated hemorrhagic cystitis occurs in bone marrow transplant recipients but is rare among other immunosuppressed patients. We present a rare case of BKV-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in a 48-year-old man with AIDS and previously diagnosed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
