CASE
A 66-year-old Japanese female with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) received auto-PBSCT, achieving partial response. To obtain a greater response, pomalidomide/dexamethasone was started on day 28 after auto-PBSCT, but was stopped on day 41 due to thrombocytopenia, fever, and gross hematuria. Additionally, she complained of abdominal pain on day 46. Blood tests revealed elevation of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase. There was no evidence of bacterial or fungal infections or progression of MM. ADV titer in urine and serum were 3.41 × 105 copies/mL and 6.76 × 103 copies/mL, respectively. CT scans revealed cystitis, urethritis, and peritonitis. Since more than two organs were infected with ADV, she was diagnosed with disseminated ADV disease. After 5 weeks of supportive care, all symptoms resolved. ADV titer decreased to 5.90 × 102 copies/mL in urine and became negative in serum on day 80. However, she succumbed to the MM a little more than a month later.
