Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is often associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). However, in this report, we describe a heart transplant recipient with pathologically proven EBV-positive PTLD with undetectable virus by polymerase chain reaction. The patient had remission after anti-CD20 antibody treatment early after transplantation.
移植后淋巴细胞增生性疾病(PTLD)常与 Epstein-Barr 病毒(EBV)相关。然而,在本报告中,我们描述了一名心脏移植受者,其经病理证实为 EBV 阳性的 PTLD,但通过聚合酶链反应检测不到病毒。该患者在移植后早期接受抗 CD20 抗体治疗后病情缓解。
