Epstein Barr virus associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease after intestinal transplantation.

Abstract

Previous reports of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) after intestinal transplantation described a high incidence with consequent significant morbidity and mortality. We present the clinical/pathological spectrum of PTLD occurring after intestinal transplantation with particular emphasis on risk factors and effect on patient and graft survival.
