Late Onset Epstein Barr Virus Seropositive Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder in Two Renal Transplant Receivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED Posttransplant malignancy is one of the most important complications of organ transplantation. Immunosuppressive drugs, viral infections such as human herpes virus 8 or Epstein-Barr virus, exposure to carcinogenic factors such as sun, and host factors can be etiologic factors in the development of malignant disease. In this paper we report 2 cases of late posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder with malign behavior. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None declared.

Pretransplant Epstein-Barr virus serostatus and incidence of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder in pediatric renal transplants.
OBJECTIVES Pediatric renal transplant recipients are at increased risk of Epstein-Barr virus infection which may be due to the high percentage of Epstein-Barr virus seronegative recipients at the time of transplant in the pediatric age group. We aimed to assess the Epstein-Barr virus serostatus of recipients and donors and the incidence of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder in pediatri...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia in the first year posttransplantation has been studied extensively. There is a paucity of information on prevalence and sequelae of EBV infection in adult renal transplantation beyond the first year. This single-center study examines the relationship between EBV DNAemia and demographic, immunosuppressive, hematologic and infection-related parameters in 499 renal...
متن کاملBurkitt's Lymphoma Presenting as Late-Onset Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder following Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are a rare, but serious complication following transplantation. Late-onset PTLD are often associated with more monoclonal lesions and consequently have a worse prognosis. There are only isolated case reports of Burkitt's lymphoma presenting as PTLD. We present an extremely rare, aggressive Burkitt's lymphoma years after kidney and pancreas tra...

AIM To examine the risk of late-onset post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in the presence of persisting high Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in EBV naïve pediatric heart transplant (HT) recipients. METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records of the 145 pediatric HT recipients who had serial EBV viral load monitoring at our center was performed. We defined EBV naive patients...

OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C virus infection has a 10.5% frequency in liver transplant posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders. Studies have suggested that hepatitis C virus infection plays a role in developing posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders. Pooling data of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders developing in liver recipients from the literature, we analyzed and compared cha...
