چکیده

Reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus infection and polyclonal expansion of lymphocytes is well-documented in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and is considered a potential precursor to lymphoma. We report an analogous case of posttransplantation polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection who was successfully treated with antiretroviral therapy.

Epstein-Barr virus DNA in serum in a HIV-infected patient during development and treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Immunocompromised patients are at risk of developing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoproliferative disorders. Quantitative determination of serum EBV DNA permits early diagnosis of an AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and surveillance of treatment response and/or relapse, and thus may be a useful tool to monitor disease activity.

Favorable outcome of Epstein-Barr virus-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder complicated by immunoglobulin G4-related disease treated with rituximab-based therapy: a case report

BACKGROUND After acute infection of Epstein-Barr virus, Epstein-Barr virus-infected B cells survive but usually do not show clonal proliferation. However, Epstein-Barr virus-infected B cells occasionally acquire a proliferative capacity that provokes clonal lymphoproliferative disorders. We herein present a case with Epstein-Barr virus-infected CD30+ B cell and immunoglobulin G4+ plasmacytoid c...

Diffuse CNS vasculopathy with chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection in X-linked lymphoproliferative disease.

We report a patient with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) who developed multiple central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of Epstein-Barr virus infection. XLP, or Duncan syndrome, is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the inability to clear Epstein-Barr virus infection. In addition to Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis, CNS lymphoproliferative disease, and lymphoma, this patie...

Clonal origins of lymphoproliferative disease induced by Epstein-Barr virus.

Analysis of immunoglobulin gene rearrangements in 16 B-cell lineages clonally propagated from two mononucleosis patients supported the notion that mononucleosis is a polyclonal B-lymphoproliferative disorder. Three of seven cell clones from a patient with a fatal B lymphoma revealed the same pattern of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, indicating that this patient's disease was oligoclonal. Th...
