The association between Epstein-Barr virus subtype, human leukocyte antigen class I alleles, and the development of posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder was examined in a group of 25 bone marrow transplant recipients. A highly statistically significant correlation was observed between the human leukocyte antigen B51 allele and development of posttransplantation lymphoproliferative d...

BACKGROUND Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of solid organ transplantation in both children and adults. Factors associated with increased risk of PTLD include mismatch of recipient and donor EBV serologic status (seronegative recipient with seropositive donor), and intensive drug-induced immunosuppression. METHODS AND RESU...

abstract background: lymphoproliferative disorders are among the most serious and potentially fatal complications of chronic immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients. the principle risk factors for development of ptld are the degree of overall immunosuppression and the ebv serostatus of the recipient. in this study, the risk of ptld in kidney transplant recipients who received anti- ly...

post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a lymphocyte proliferating disease, usually of b cell origin, and rarely of t cell. involvement of liver itself in liver transplant recipients as the primary organ is not common. herein we report our experience in two patients who primarily presented in the allografted liver, both of whom were promptly diagnosed after liver biopsy and treated succ...

We report a case of an iris tumor with muttonfat keratic precipitates in a young patient after liver transplantation surgery. A 6yearold girl underwent liver transplantation for congenital biliary atresia and was subsequently immunosuppressed with oral cyclosporine. We examined her 5 years after transplantation because of a "white nodule in her left eye," which had been detected by her father o...
