Abstract
Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) is common in patients who have undergone kidney transplantation and has been reported in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant recipients. Aside from reduction of immunosuppression, few therapeutic options exist for treatment of PVAN. We report a case of PVAN in a severely immunocompromised allogeneic HSC transplant recipient that was treated with brincidofovir without reduction of immunosuppression. We review our institutional experience of PVAN in HSC transplantation and discuss the potential use of brincidofovir for treatment.
