RESUMO
We present a case of diarrhea secondary to biopsy-proven adenovirus (ADV) infection after autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. The patient had a negative plasma polymerase chain reaction for ADV and a dramatic clinical response to low-dose cidofovir. To our knowledge, this is the first report in an adult hematopoietic stem cell recipient of the use of low-dose cidofovir to treat proven ADV gastrointestinal infection.
