摘要

Disseminated adenovirus infection is a rare but often fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), particularly uncommon in the autologous setting. We report the case of a 59-year-old man with stage IVB diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who underwent autologous HSCT after multiple lines of therapy. Following conditioning regimen, he developed persistent fever, mucositis, dysuria, and gross hematuria, with imaging showing bilateral pyelonephritis, ureteritis, and cystitis. Despite broad-spectrum antibiotics, symptoms persisted. Quantitative PCR revealed rapidly rising adenovirus viremia (> 1,000,000 copies/mL), and renal biopsy demonstrated viral cytopathic changes on light microscopy together with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The patient progressed to fulminant oliguric renal failure and died before dialysis could be initiated. This case highlights a rare presentation of adenovirus infection with renal involvement consistent with adenovirus-associated nephropathy and concurrent FSGS after autologous HSCT, highlighting the potential convergence of viral, neoplastic, and transplant-related mechanisms in catastrophic renal injury.
