Abstract
Disseminated adenovirus infection in recipients of renal transplants is a rare but often fatal
complication. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman who underwent renal trans-
plantation from a deceased donor. Ten months after transplantation, she presented with
dysuria, hematuria, and febrile illness. Despite the use of antibiotics, the patient’s symp-
toms continued and worsened and the serum creatinine level was increased. The results of
urine and serum polymerase chain reaction were positive for adenovirus. Renal biopsy
revealed viral interstitial nephritis. The patient was treated with ribavirin, intravenous
immunoglobulin, and reduction in immunosuppression. Her symptoms progressively
improved from 7 days after the treatment. Serum and urine polymerase chain reaction for
adenovirus became negative 10 and 21 days after the treatment, respectively. She remained
in good health with excellent allograft function 6 months later.
