Successful Treatment of Central Nervous System Involvement in Posttransplant EBV-related Lymphoproliferative Disease With Intrathecal Rituximab Therapy.

Abstract

The posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease is a severe cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Central Nervous System involvement in EBV-related PTLD is rare, and there is no standard treatment recommendation. We present our patient and discuss other previously reported cases of EBV-associated PTLD with CNS involvement.
