Association of Epstein-Barr virus with an angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy-like lymphoproliferative syndrome.

چکیده
A patient presented with fever, night sweats, generalized lymphadenopathy, cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Lymph node biopsy revealed a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate sparing the cortical sinuses but associated with arborizing blood vessels. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was demonstrated in tissue from an involved lymph node. These data suggest an association of EBV with a lymphoproliferative process that resembles angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia.

Detection and localization of Epstein-Barr viral genomes in angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy-like lymphoma.
We studied 23 cases of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) and AILD-like lymphoma for evidence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization studies. EBV nucleic acid sequences were found by either PCR or in situ hybridization in 96% of the cases. There was a wide range in the number of EBV-positive cells among the different cases as detec...

The case of a 45-year-old man with HIV disease with bulky lymphadenopathy, fevers, and weight loss is presented. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome was initially believed to be the cause, but the patient was found to suffer from Kaposi sarcoma, multicentric Castleman disease, hemophagocytic syndrome, and a newly described lymphoproliferative disorder. The diagnostic reasoning related t...
متن کاملAtypical Lymphoproliferative Diseases.
This review addresses the clinical presentation, pathology, and therapy of several uncommon lymphoid proliferations. Because these lymphoproliferations span the characteristics of reactive polymorphous proliferations to clonal malignant neoplasms, they are often difficult to diagnose and treat effectively. In Section I, Dr. Greiner describes the pathology of the spectrum of atypical lymphoid di...

We review 15 cases of secondary B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders that occurred among 2,475 patients who received allogeneic bone marrow transplants (BMTs) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Seattle) between 1969 and 1987. The histopathologic findings in 14 of the 15 patients spanned a wide spectrum of lymphoproliferative lesions. One patient had features characteristic of angioi...
