“…Moreover, the mortality rate in PTLD can reach 50% (13). Immunosuppressive drugs contribute to the development of PTLD by inhibiting cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses that normally control the expansion of EBV-infected lymphoblasts (14,15). In contrast, immunosuppressive drugs may have direct effects on EBV-transformed B cells that could influence PTLD-associated lymphoma growth.…”

“…PTLD occurs in approximately 2-5% of all organ transplant recipients and encompasses a diverse spectrum of manifestations. The incidence among children is significantly higher than in adults, with rates as high as 15-20% for some categories of pediatric transplant recipients (8,9). Children are particularly affected because they are most often EBV-seronegative pretransplant.…”

The role of EBV in the unrestricted proliferation of B cells is also strongly emphasized [7].…”
