 Adenovirus Adenovirus has been associated with hemorrhagic cystitis in renal
transplant patients and in rare occasions the renal parenchyma is involved
(adenovirus pyelonephritis). There has been only one report of adenovirus
infection in a combined kidney-pancreas transplant recipient. Adenovirus type
11 was demonstrated in some renal tubules but the pancreas allograft continued
to have normal function and apparently was not affected. References Mathur SC, Squiers
EC, Tatum AH, Szmale FS, Daucher JW, Welker DM, Shanley PF: Adenovirus infection
of the renal allograft with sparing of pancreas graft function in the recipient
of a combined kidney-pancreas transplant. Transplantation
