Fatal aplastic anemia caused by Epstein-Barr virus infection after autologous bone marrow transplantation for non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma.
We report a case of severe and fatal aplastic anemia during an episode of infectious mononucleosis caused by Epstein-Barr (EB) virus infection. The 13-year-old female patient had shown normal hematological findings and had previously undergone repeated chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation for refractory non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma (NHL). She was probably in an immuno-suppr...

We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection (CAEBV). She underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an unrelated male donor and achieved a complete response. However, her CAEBV relapsed one year after BMT. EBV-infected cells proliferated clonally and revealed a 46XY karyotype. In addition, the infecting EBV strain differed fr...

متن کاملUnrelated bone marrow transplantation induced long-term remission in a patient with life-threatening Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
We present a case of life-threatening Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with severe hepatitis that was successfully treated by allogeneic stem cell transplantation from an unrelated donor. A 26-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a high fever and liver dysfunction. Laboratory tests, including bone marrow aspiration, revealed severe HLH that oc...
متن کاملEradication of Epstein-Barr virus by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: implications for sites of viral latency.
Wild-type strains of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can be distinguished on the basis of variations in the molecular weight of virus-encoded, growth transformation-associated proteins. This approach was used to study the persistence of EBV in two seropositive recipients of allogeneic bone marrow transplants. The first patient received marrow from her EBV-seronegative brother, became EBV seronegative ...
