Abstract
The optimal management of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is debated, both for early onset HC (EOHC) secondary to chemotherapy toxicity and BK Polyomavirus (BKPyV)-related HC, due to the lack of controlled trials, particularly referred to pediatric setting. Actually, clinical practice is mainly based on guidelines of the European Conference on Infections in Leukemia, 6th edition, which considers both adult and pediatric populations but concludes that, despite much progress in understanding the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and risk factors, this complication still represents a disabling unmet clinical need with limited prophylactic and therapeutic options. Additionally, the Guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology define the management of chemotherapeutic toxicity independently from the patients' population. A panel of experts belonging to the Hematopoietic Cell Transplant and Infectious Disease Working Group (WG) of Associazione Italiana di Emato-Oncologia Pediatrica (AIEOP) developed a consensus to define the best practices in prevention, diagnosis, and management of HC in pediatric HCT setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the use of cidofovir (CDV) for viral infections in immunocompromised children (IC) and provide guidance on dosing and supportive care. DATA SOURCES A PubMed search was conducted for literature published between 1997 and January 2022 using the following terms: cidofovir, plus children or pediatrics. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Limits were set to include human subjects less than 24 years of age receiving intravenous (IV) or intrabladder CDV for treatment of infections due to adenovirus, polyomavirus-BK (BKV), herpesviruses, or cytomegalovirus. DATA SYNTHESIS Data were heterogeneous, with largely uncontrolled studies. Conventional dosing (CDV 5 mg/kg/dose weekly) was commonly used in 60% (31/52) of studies and modified dosing (CDV 1 mg/kg/dose 3 times/week) was used in 17% (9/52) of studies, despite being off-label. Nephrotoxicity reported across studies totaled 16% (65/403 patients), which was higher for conventional dosing 29 of 196 patients (15%) than modified dosing 1 of 27 patients (4%). Saline hyperhydration and concomitant probenecid remain the cornerstones of supportive care, while some regimens omitting probenecid are emerging to target BKV. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review of CDV use (indications, dosing, supportive care, response, and nephrotoxicity) in pediatric IC. CONCLUSIONS Effective utilization of CDV in IC remains challenging. Further prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal CDV dosing; however, less aggressive dosing regimens such as modified thrice weekly dosing or low dosing once weekly omitting probenecid to enhance urinary penetration may be reasonable alternatives to conventional dosing in some IC.

Moss JE, Muller WJ. BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in pediatric stem cell transplantation: a case report and scoping review. Front Pediatr 2024; 11:1267678. [PMID: 38406625 PMCID: PMC10884191 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1267678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (BK-HC) is a debilitating and poorly understood complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Hematuria, dysuria, and other symptoms associated with BK-HC are common in the immediate post-SCT period, making BK-HC difficult to distinguish from other conditions presenting with these symptoms. Despite published criteria for diagnosis, the degree to which these criteria are consistently applied to either clinical diagnosis or to studies informing BK-HC management is unclear. We present a case of BK-HC in a pediatric SCT recipient, and discuss the challenges associated with treatment in the absence of rigorous data to inform clinical management. Methods We reviewed all cases of BK viruria at our center in patients undergoing SCT between January 2015 and December 2019. We then performed a scoping review of publications in PubMed addressing BK-HC, specifically focusing on how BK-HC was defined. Publications using the keywords "BK polyomavirus" and "hemorrhagic cystitis" were included if they involved a clinical study of SCT recipients and a full-text article was available in English. Case reports were excluded. Analysis focused on whether BK-HC was explicitly defined and whether the definition incorporated elements of diagnostic criteria published by European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL). Results A total of 30 studies published between January 2018 and 30 June 2021 met criteria for review, including 4 clinical trials, 7 prospective observational studies, and 19 retrospective observational studies. Fifteen of these studies included pediatric patients (7 pediatric only, 8 combined adult and pediatric). Of the 30 publications, 19 included a definition of either BK-HC or BK cystitis, with only five using ECIL criteria, all of which were observational studies. Multiple interventions are described for treatment of BK-HC, including cidofovir, leflunomide, quinolones, hyperbaric oxygen, keratinocyte growth factor, and BK-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. However, evidence to support efficacy for any of these interventions is lacking. Discussion Although BK-HC is a well-known complication of SCT, evidence to support available treatment options is limited. Well-controlled studies that incorporate clear diagnostic criteria are needed to better define the risk factors, natural history, and ideal interventions.

Endovesical instillation of Cidofovir in the treatment of BK polyomavirus hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Curr Res Transl Med 2023; 71:103366.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) with BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) that may lead to severe discomfort for the patient and significant morbidity (urinary obstruction, increased transfusion requirements and prolonged hospitalization). So far, there is no clear consensus on how to manage this complication. PATIENTS AND METHODS Here, we report a single-center case series of 9 patients (4 children and 5 adults) treated with cidofovir endovesical (EV) instillation(s) for BKPyV-HC after alloHCT. EV Cidofovir was administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg, for 1 to 3 instillations (with a minimum delay between 2 successive doses of 5 days). RESULTS Eight out of the 9 treated patients with EV Cidofovir achieved a complete resolution of HC after 1-3 instillation(s), without recurrence of symptomatic infection within the next 3 months. Only 1 adult patient did not improve after treatment and developed severe morbidity (emphysematous cystitis). CONCLUSION Although this single-center case series of EV cidofovir for BKPyV HC after alloHCT shows encouraging results, only large prospective studies will definitively establish the effectiveness of this therapy.

Untargeted Metabolomics Pilot Study Using UHPLC-qTOF MS Profile in Sows' Urine Reveals Metabolites of Bladder Inflammation. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12121186.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) of sows (characterized by ascending infections of the urinary bladder (cyst), ureters, and renal pelvis), are major health issues with a significant economic impact to the swine industry. The current detection of UTI incidents lacks sensitivity; thus, UTIs remain largely under-diagnosed. The value of metabolomics in unraveling the mechanisms of sow UTI has not yet been established. This study aims to investigate the urine metabolome of sows for UTI biomarkers. Urine samples were collected from 58 culled sows from a farrow-to-finish herd in Greece. Urine metabolomic profiles in 31 healthy controls and in 27 inflammatory ones were evaluated. UHPLC-qTOF MS/MS was applied for the analysis with a combination of multivariate and univariate statistical analysis. Eighteen potential markers were found. The changes in several urine metabolites classes (nucleosides, indoles, isoflavones, and dipeptides), as well as amino-acids allowed for an adequate discrimination between the study groups. Identified metabolites were involved in purine metabolism; phenylalanine; tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis; and phenylalanine metabolism. Through ROC analysis it was shown that the 18 identified metabolite biomarkers exhibited good predictive accuracy. In summary, our study provided new information on the potential targets for predicting early and accurate diagnosis of UTI. Further, this information also sheds light on how it could be applied in live animals.

Abstract
BK virus (BKV)-hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a well-known and rarely fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Treatment for BKV-HC is limited, but virus-specific T-cells (VST) represent a promising therapeutic option feasible for use posttransplant. We report on the case of a 16-year-old male with dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) deficiency who underwent haploidentical HSCT complicated by severe BKV-HC, catastrophic renal hemorrhage, and VST-associated cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Gross hematuria refractory to multiple interventions began with initiation of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PT/Cy). Complete left renal arterial embolization (day +43) was ultimately indicated to control intractable renal hemorrhage. Subsequent infusion of anti-BK VSTs was complicated by CRS and progressive multiorgan failure, with postmortem analysis confirming diagnosis of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). This case illustrates opportunities for improvement in the management of severe BKV-HC posttransplant while highlighting rare and potentially life-threatening complications of BKV-HC and VST therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Polyomavirus (PyV) infections have been associated with different diseases. BK (BKPyV), JC (JCPyV) and simian virus 40 (SV40) are the three main PyVs whose primary infection occurs early in life. Their vertical transmission was investigated in this study. METHODS PyV sequences were analyzed by the digital droplet PCR in blood, serum, placenta, amniotic fluid, vaginal smear from two independent cohorts of pregnant females and umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples. IgG antibodies against the three PyVs were investigated by indirect E.L.I.S.As with viral mimotopes. RESULTS DNAs from blood, vaginal smear and placenta tested BKPyV-, JCPyV- and SV40-positive with a distinct prevalence, while amniotic fluids were all PyVs-negative. A prevalence of 3%, 7%, and 3% for BKPyV, JCPyV and SV40 DNA sequences, respectively, was obtained in UCBs. Serum IgG antibodies from pregnant females reached an overall prevalence of 62%, 42% and 17% for BKPyV, JCPyV and SV40, respectively. Sera from newborns (UCB) tested IgG-positive with a prevalence of 10% for BKPyV/JCPyV and 3% for SV40. CONCLUSIONS In this investigation, PyV vertical transmission was revealed by detecting PyV DNA sequences and IgG antibodies in samples from females and their offspring suggesting a potential risk of diseases in newborns.

Abstract
The polyomavirus family currently includes thirteen human polyomavirus (HPyV) species. In immunocompromised and elderly persons HPyVs are known to cause disease, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (JCPyV), haemorrhagic cystitis and nephropathy (BKPyV), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCPyV), and trichodysplasia spinulosa (TSPyV). Some recently discovered polyomaviruses are of still unknown prevalence and pathogenic potential. Because HPyVs infections persist and might be transferred by blood components to immunocompromised patients, we studied the seroprevalence of fourteen polyomaviruses in adult Dutch blood donors. For most polyomaviruses the observed seroprevalence was high (60–100%), sometimes slightly increasing or decreasing with age. Seroreactivity increased with age for JCPyV, HPyV6 and HPyV7 and decreased for BKPyV and TSPyV. The most recently identified polyomaviruses HPyV12, NJPyV and LIPyV showed low overall seroprevalence (~5%) and low seroreactivity, questioning their human tropism. Altogether, HPyV infections are common in Dutch blood donors, with an average of nine polyomaviruses per subject.
