Abstract

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a fatal complication that can occur early after solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It represents a spectrum of Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-related clinical diseases, from benign mononucleosis like illness to malignancies like non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Some of the established risk factors for PTLD are HLA mismatching, T-cell depletion, and the use of anti-lymphocyte antibodies as conditioning or immunosuppression for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease.
