Human adenovirus type 34 (HAdV-34) infection is a recognized cause of transplant-associated hemorrhagic cystitis and, in rare cases, tubulointerstitial nephritis. The source of such infections is often difficult to assess, that is, whether acquired as a primary infection, exposure to a pathogen in the transplanted organ, or reactivation of an endogenous latent infection. We present here 2 cases of likely transplant-acquired HAdV-34 infection from the same organ donor, manifesting as tubulointerstitial nephritis in 1.
人腺病毒34型(HAdV-34)感染是移植相关出血性膀胱炎的已知病因,在罕见情况下也是肾小管间质性肾炎的病因。此类感染的来源通常难以评估,即难以确定是原发性感染、移植器官中接触病原体,还是内源性潜伏感染的激活。我们在此报告2例可能因同一器官供体而在移植后获得的HAdV-34感染病例,其中1例表现为肾小管间质性肾炎。
