Abstract

Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) remains a major complication of solid organ transplantation (SOT) in pediatric patients. The majority are Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) driven CD20+ B-cell proliferations responsive to reduction to immunosuppression and anti-CD20 directed immunotherapy. This review focusses on the epidemiology, role of EBV, clinical presentation, current treatment strategies, adoptive immunotherapy and future research in EBV + PTLD in pediatric patients.
