The association between BK virus infection and hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients is well established. However, BK virus-associated HC has not been described in liver transplant (LT) recipients. We present a case of BK virus-associated HC in a LT recipient. Our patient presented with worsening liver function tests 2 years after transplantation and was found to have acute cellular rejection. He was treated with increased immunosuppression and subsequently developed hematuria. He was eventually diagnosed with BK virus-associated HC.
造血干细胞移植（HSCT）受者中BK病毒感染与出血性膀胱炎（HC）之间的关联已得到充分证实。然而，肝移植（LT）受者中尚未有BK病毒相关HC的报道。我们报告一例LT受者发生BK病毒相关HC的病例。我们的患者在移植后2年出现肝功能检查恶化，被发现有急性细胞排斥反应。他接受了增加免疫抑制的治疗，随后出现血尿。他最终被诊断为BK病毒相关HC。
