We report on 2 renal transplant patients in whom acute urinary retention developed after anogenital herpes infections. In 1 case a reversible bladder motor and sensory neuropathy occurred secondary to herpes simplex virus infections. In the other case a motor paralytic bladder developed secondary to an anogenital varicella-zoster infection. Documentation was by carbon dioxide cystometrography and denervation hypersensitivity testing. Both cases were reversible without alteration of the immunosuppressive regimens.
