ResumoBK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis is a common complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. It is known to be associated with cyclophosphamide therapy and the intensity of the conditioning regimen as well as infection with the BK virus. Data are limited for BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in pediatric recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Therefore, we aimed to identify the risk factors and etiology of BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis and determine the factors that may improve the treatment efficacy.
