We report on a case of transient neurogenic dysfunction of the urinary bladder caused by herpes genitalis in a renal transplant patient. The patient noticed a slow urinary stream 3 days after the vesicular stage of the herpes genitalis. After 9 days complete urinary retention and loss of sensation developed, necessitating the insertion of suprapubic tube. Symptoms and residual urine spontaneously disappeared after 20 days. After removal of the suprapubic tube the patient could empty his bladder completely with good stream. 45 cases of this kind have been described in the literature. the cause is a sacral meningo-radiculitis with herpes simplex virus leading to a transient neuromotoric paralysis of the bladder.
