Abstract
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) represents a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative diseases occurring in the setting of immunosuppression following hematopoietic stem cells transplant and solid organ transplantation. Despite its overall low incidence, PTLD is a serious complication following transplantation, with a mortality rate as high as 50% in transplant recipients. Therefore, it is important to establish for each transplant recipient a personalized risk evaluation for the development of PTLD based on the determination of Epstein-Barr virus serostatus and viral load following the initiation of immunosuppression. Due to the dynamic progression of PTLD, reflected in the diverse pathological features, different therapeutic approaches have been used to treat this disorder. Moreover, new therapeutic strategies based on the administration of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells have been developed. In this review, we summarize the available data on screening and treatment to suggest a strategy to identify transplant recipients at a higher risk for PTLD development and to review the current therapeutic options for PTLD.

Reiche W, Tauseef A, Sabri A, Mirza M, Cantu D, Silberstein P, Chandan S. Gastrointestinal manifestations, risk factors, and management in patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder: A systematic review. World J Transplant 2022; 12:268-280. [PMID: 36159076 PMCID: PMC9453293 DOI: 10.5500/wjt.v12.i8.268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with a history of solid organ transplantation (SOT) or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at an increased risk of developing post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is commonly affected as it has an abundance of B and T cells.
AIM To determine typical GI-manifestations, risk factors for developing PTLD, and management.
METHODS Major databases were searched until November 2021.
RESULTS Non-case report studies that described GI manifestations of PTLD, risk factors for developing PTLD, and management of PTLD were included. Nine articles written within the last 20 years were included in the review. All articles found that patients with a history of SOT, regardless of transplanted organ, have a propensity to develop GI-PTLD.
CONCLUSION GI tract manifestations may be nonspecific; therefore, consideration of risk factors is crucial for identifying GI-PTLD. Like other lymphoma variants, PTLD is very aggressive making early diagnosis key to prognosis. Initial treatment is reduction of immunosuppression which is effective in more than 50% of cases; however, additional therapy including rituximab, chemotherapy, and surgery may also be required.

Features of Epstein–Barr Virus and Cytomegalovirus Reactivation in Acute Leukemia Patients After Haplo-HCT With Myeloablative ATG-Containing Conditioning Regimen. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:865170. [PMID: 35651756 PMCID: PMC9149257 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.865170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Haploidentical donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) has become a preferred option for patients without HLA-matched donors, but it increases the risk of viral reactivations. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are common viruses post-HCT, but limited data have been reported in the setting of haplo-HCT. Methods We conducted a retrospective study enrolling acute leukemia patients who received haplo-HCT with myeloablative conditioning regimen employing ATG in our center from July 2014 to July 2017. All the patients enrolled were EBV-IgM and EBV-DNA negative but EBV-IgG positive, and so were their donors. The same went for CMV as well. Results In total, 602 patients were recruited consisting of 331 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 271 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). One-year cumulative incidences of EBV (22.9% ± 2.4% vs. 27.4% ± 2.8%, P = 0.169) and CMV (24.7% ± 2.4% vs. 29.4% ± 2.8%, P = 0.190) reactivation were comparable between AML and ALL. EBV and CMV were independent risk factors for each other. In the AML group, male recipients [HR = 1.275, 95% CI (1.001–1.624), P = 0.049] and acute graft-versus-host disease [HR = 1.592, 95% CI (1.001–2.533), P = 0.049] were independent risk factors for EBV reactivation and CMV reactivation, respectively. CMV rather than EBV reactivation was related to a trend of worsened treatment-related mortality (TRM) (15.6% ± 0.1% vs. 10.2% ± 0.0%, P = 0.067) and progression-free survival (PFS) (60.6% ± 4.1% vs. 70.3% ± 2.3%, P = 0.073), while significant impacts were revealed only in the subgroup analysis. CMV reactivation resulted in a remarkable inferior 2-year overall survival (OS) (64.2% ± 5.7% vs. 77.6% ± 3.2%, P = 0.038) and PFS (55.0% ± 5.9% vs. 71.9% ± 3.4%, P = 0.042) in ALL patients. On the other hand, in the EBV+/CMV− subgroup, relapse was lower in ALL patients (8.2% ± 0.2% vs. 32.4% ± 0.8%, P = 0.010) compared with AML patients, which led to a superior 2-year OS (82.0% ± 6.2% vs. 60.3% ± 8.8%, P = 0.016) and PFS (74.5% ± 7.0% vs. 57.5% ± 8.4%, P = 0.036). Conclusion We concluded that EBV and CMV reactivations were frequent in acute leukemia patients after haplo-HCT, with possibly distinctive risk factors from HLA-matched HCT. There could be a potential interaction between EBV and CMV, but impacts on transplant outcomes remained complex.

Late-onset posttransplant Epstein-Barr virusrelated lymphoproliferative disease after cord blood transplantation for chronic active Epstein Barr virus infection: A case report. Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e29055. [PMID: 35357349 PMCID: PMC11315542 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000029055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a critical complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). PTLD is classified into early and late-onset PTLDs. In post-HSCT patients, late-onset PTLD is rare, particularly PTLD after HSCT for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoproliferative disease. Here, we report the case of a patient diagnosed with late-onset EBV-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), that of PTLD, after HSCT for chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV), that of EBV related lymphoproliferative disease, probably because of EBV reactivation. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS A 22-year-old woman with abdominal fullness visited our hospital. Blood examination showed pancytopenia with atypical lymphocytes, liver dysfunction, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase level. In contrast, bone marrow aspiration showed slight hemophagocytosis with increased natural-killer cells (NK cells). As serum antibodies against EBV were atypical, we calculated the EBV-DNA level in peripheral blood and this level was significantly high. EBV was infected with NK cells, and EBV's monoclonality in NK cells was confirmed. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with CAEBV. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES The patient received chemotherapy and cord blood cell transplantation (CBT); CAEBV was well controlled. Approximately 6years from CBT for CAEBV, she visited our hospital because of fever. Blood examination revealed pancytopenia with atypical lymphocytes, liver dysfunction, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase level. In contrast, bone marrow aspiration showed hemophagocytosis with increased B and T cell counts without increased NK cell count. Additionally, serum antibody titers against EBV were atypical, and the EBV-DNA level in the peripheral blood was high. EBV was infected with only B cells, and EBV's monoclonality was confirmed. A more detailed analysis indicated that EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes were inactive. Therefore, she was diagnosed with late-onset EBV-related HLH. She received extensive treatment, but EBV-related HLH did not improve. Finally, she died about 3 weeks after diagnosis. CONCLUSION PTLD, including HLH, is a life-threatening complication after transplantation, including HSCT. To our knowledge, this is the first case of late-onset EBV-related HLH after CBT for CAEBV. Late-onset PTLD has an indolent clinical course, but our patient's disease course was extremely aggressive. Therefore, late-onset EBV-related PTLD may be life-threatening.

Abstract
Simple Summary Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is a common virus that is readily controlled by a healthy immune system and rarely causes serious problems in infected people. However, patients with certain genetic defects of their immune system might have difficulties controlling EBV and often develop severe and life-threatening conditions, such as severe inflammation and malignancies. In this review, we provide a summary of inherited immune diseases that lead to a high susceptibility to EBV infection and discuss how this infection is associated with cancer development. Abstract Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous virus affecting more than 90% of the world’s population. Upon infection, it establishes latency in B cells. It is a rather benign virus for immune-competent individuals, in whom infections usually go unnoticed. Nevertheless, EBV has been extensively associated with tumorigenesis. Patients suffering from certain inborn errors of immunity are at high risk of developing malignancies, while infection in the majority of immune-competent individuals does not seem to lead to immune dysregulation. Herein, we discuss how inborn mutations in TNFRSF9, CD27, CD70, CORO1A, CTPS1, ITK, MAGT1, RASGRP1, STK4, CARMIL2, SH2D1A, and XIAP affect the development, differentiation, and function of key factors involved in the immunity against EBV, leading to increased susceptibility to lymphoproliferative disease and lymphoma.

Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) and other iatrogenic immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (OIIA-LPD) are iatrogenic lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) that develop in association with immunosuppressive treatment in the setting of organ transplantation and autoimmune disease, respectively. Each has a spectrum of pathologies ranging from lymphoid hyperplasia to lymphoma. To clarify the characteristics of the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtype in a cohort of 25 patients with PTLD or OIIA-LPD from our institute, we selected 13 with a histological subtype of DLBCL, including 2 cases of PTLD and 11 of OIIA-LPD. The median patient age at diagnosis was 70 years, with a female predominance. Both PTLD cases developed after kidney transplant. Of the patients with OIIA-LPD, 10 had rheumatoid arthritis, 1 had mixed connective tissue disease, and 8 were treated using methotrexate. Both of the PTLD patients and 6 of the OIIA-LPD patients had extranodal manifestations. All patients except for one were classified as having the non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype according to the Hans algorithm. Tissue samples from 8 patients were positive for CD30 and 8 were positive for Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA. Seven patients had MYC-positive tissue samples, but none had MYC translocation. Our study suggests that extranodal manifestations and the non-GCB subtype are common, that EBV is associated with the DLBCL subtype of PTLD and OIIA-LPD, and that anti-CD30 therapy is applicable. In addition, our patients with the DLBCL subtype of PTLD and OIIA-LPD exhibited MYC overexpression without MYC translocation, suggesting an alternative mechanism of MYC upregulation.

Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus reactivation after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma: the prevalence and impacts on outcomes : EBV and CMV reactivation post allo-HCT in NHL. Ann Hematol 2021; 100:2773-2785. [PMID: 34480615 PMCID: PMC8510926 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-021-04642-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivations are common complications after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), but data focusing on non–Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are limited. We retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of EBV and CMV reactivation post-allo-HCT and the impacts on transplant outcomes in 160 NHL patients. The 1-year incidences of EBV and CMV reactivation were 22.58% and 25.55%, respectively. Independent impactors for EBV reactivation were more than 6 lines of chemotherapy (P = 0.030), use of rituximab (P = 0.004), and neutrophil recovery within 30 days post-HCT (P = 0.022). For T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma patients, the International Prognostic Index (IPI) (P = 0.015) and chronic GVHD (P = 0.001) increased the risk of CMV reactivation. CMV reactivation was independently related to a lower risk of relapse (P = 0.027) but higher transplant-related mortality (TRM) (P = 0.038). Although viral reactivation had no significant impact on overall survival (OS) in the whole cohort, it led to an inferior 2-year OS (67.6% versus 92.5%, P = 0.005) and TRM (20.1% versus 4.7%, P = 0.020) in recipients surviving for more than 180 days. We concluded that EBV and CMV reactivation post-allotransplant still deserved concern particularly in NHL patients with high-risk factors, since it is generally related to a deteriorated prognosis. Large-scale studies are warranted to validate our findings.

Abstract
To describe the clincopathological features and evaluate risk factors of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplants (allo-HSCT), with comparison between paediatric and adult .Clinicopathological features of 81 cases of PTLD after allo-HSCT were analysed by histopatholgy, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisatioin.The cases included 58 males and 23 females with a median age of 26.7 years (range 6-55 years) and the PTLDs developed 1-60 months post-transplant (mean 5.9 months). The histological types indicated 10 cases of non-destructive PTLD, including 4 of plasmacytic hyperplasia, 5 of infectious mononucleosis and 1 of florid follicular hyperplasia. Fifty-six cases were polymorphic PTLD, and 15 were monomorphic PTLD, including thirteen of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, 1 of extranodal nasal type natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma and 1 of plasmablastic lymphoma. Foci and sheets of necrosis were observed in 31 cases. The infected ratio of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was 91.4%. Some cases were treated by reduction of immunosuppression, antiviral therapy, donor lymphocyte infusion or anti-CD20 monoclonal rituximab. Thirty-three cases died. Compared with that of adult, overall survival of paediatric recipient may be better.The first half year after allo-HSCT is very important for the development of PTLD. Type of PTLD, EBV infection and graft-versus-host disease are risk factors. The prognosis of PTLD is poor, and PTLD after allo-HSCT exhibits some features different from that after solid organ transplantation and some differences existing between adult and paediatric recipients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Viral infections pose a serious risk for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). There are few published case series of prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes examining multiple viruses simultaneously, and no pediatric Australasian data published to date. We describe the real-life experience of viremia in pediatric HSCT in a single tertiary center. METHODS All episodes of viremia in children undergoing HSCT between 2000 and 2018 were identified by matching HSCT patients' unique identification numbers with positive blood polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results for human adenovirus (HAdV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6). Paper or electronic charts and electronic pathology results were used to extract the study variables. RESULTS Viremia was detected in 177/445 (39.8%) HSCT episodes, of which 46% were allogeneic and 19% autologous transplants. Viremia was disseminated in 96 (21.6%) episodes, with 80 (18%) having more than one virus. HAdV was detected in 108 (24.3% of total episodes) and frequently in autologous transplants, CMV in 71 (16.0%), EBV in 60 (13.5%), and HHV-6 in 38 (8.5%). Of 174 children, 19 (10.9%) died of a viral-associated cause, with viral mortality highest in CMV (18.3%), lowest in HHV-6 (2.6%) with HAdV and EBV similar (6.6% and 6.7%). Adenoviral (but not other virus) dissemination was significantly associated with lower lymphocyte count at time of first detection. CMV dissemination and death were significantly associated with initial and highest CMV viral loads (copies/mL). CONCLUSION This study presents the first pediatric-specific Australasian data for viremia in HSCT. Findings may help guide clinicians in prophylaxis and treatment decisions.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation in the colon. 5-aminosalicylic acid and immunosuppressive medications such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologic agents are used to treat these patients. However, patients with UC who receive immunosuppressive medications may be at risk for certain opportunistic infections. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of those opportunistic infections, and its pathogenic role has been implicated in refractory UC, but its pathogenicity should be further investigated. Here, we report a surgical case of refractory UC that demonstrated a serologically post-infected pattern of EBV at admission but that later had a high load of EBV in both the peripheral blood and colonic mucosa. These findings suggest that EBV may have been reactivated in the colon, after which it damaged the colonic mucosa and aggravated inflammation in this patient with UC. Thus, EBV might lead to severity and a refractory response against corticosteroids and anti-TNFα agents, necessitating emergency surgery. Viral surveillance for EBV in patients with refractory UC may facilitate understanding of the patient's pathophysiology and predicting response to medications, and the development of antiviral intervention for those patients may improve their prognosis.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with a variety of malignancies including post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). These include B and T cell lymphomas, epithelial, and mesenchymal tumors. The virus is ubiquitous, transmitted in saliva, and not usually associated with the development of malignancy. PTLD is usually associated with EBV when it occurs soon after the transplant. Measurement of viral DNA in blood, especially plasma, may be useful in the diagnosis of PTLD. Treatment approaches include withdrawal of immunosuppression, monoclonal antibodies or antibody conjugates, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and a variety of virus-specific treatments such as adoptive cellular therapy with EBV-specific T cells. Approaches to prevention include selection of immunosuppressive regimens that minimize the risk. In the future, EBV vaccines may be available for potential transplant recipients.

Abstract
Xenotransplantation using pig organs has achieved survival times up to 195 days in pig orthotopic heart transplantation into baboons. Here we demonstrate that in addition to an improved immunosuppressive regimen, non-ischaemic preservation with continuous perfusion and control of post-transplantation growth of the transplant, prevention of transmission of the porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) plays an important role in achieving long survival times. For the first time we demonstrate that PCMV transmission in orthotopic pig heart xenotransplantation was associated with a reduced survival time of the transplant and increased levels of IL-6 and TNFα were found in the transplanted baboon. Furthermore, high levels of tPA-PAI-1 complexes were found, suggesting a complete loss of the pro-fibrinolytic properties of the endothelial cells. These data show that PCMV has an important impact on transplant survival and call for elimination of PCMV from donor pigs.

Abstract
Therapeutic options for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated post-transplantation lymphoproliferative diseases (PTLD) are currently limited, accompanying with some off-target toxicities. We previously demonstrated that early recovery of Vδ2+ T cells inversely correlated to EBV reactivation after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Studies in vitro and in the mouse models showed the cytotoxic activity of Vδ2+ T cells on EBV-transformed lymphoproliferative cells, but the efficacy was moderate. Bisphosphonate, such as pamidronate (PAM), have been reported as a sensitizer to trigger tumor cells for Vδ2+ T cells recognition. Valproic acid (VPA) has attracted attentions due to its adjuvant anti-tumor effect with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Whether PAM and VPA facilitate the immunogenicity of EBV-infected cells towards Vδ2+ T cells cytotoxicity remains unknown. Herein, we demonstrated that lower dosage of VPA and/or PAM did not induce apoptosis of EBV-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-LCLs) or Vδ2+ T cells. Notably, pre-treatment with PAM significantly increased the cell death of EBV-LCLs after co-culture with Vδ2+ T cells at different ratios. Combining treatment with VPA reinforced the sensitizing effect of PAM. This efficacy was through inducing the accumulation of mevalonate pathway intermediates and dependent on the γδ T cell receptor of Vδ2+ T cells. Similar sensitizing effects of PAM and PAM plus VPA were also demonstrated on the primary PTLD cells. These results highlight the roles of PAM and VPA in the enhancement of immune surveillance and expand the fields of these two drugs in the treatment of different types of malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is a rare but life-threatening complication in patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Early identification and intervention are essential to prevent severe complications. CASE PRESENTATION We report two pediatric patients who developed tuberculosis after receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for thalassemia major among 330 recipients between January 2012 and August 2019. Patient A presented with pulmonary tuberculosis and patient B presented with lymph node tuberculosis mimicking post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder associated with Epstein-Barr virus reactivation. Patient B's condition was deteriorated, and shortly after the initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy, the patient was found to have disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. Patient B was also found to have tuberculous granulomas, an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis causing severe airway obstruction. Both patients developed critical respiratory failure and required mechanical ventilation; however, they recovered with almost full resolution of pulmonary lesions after multiple treatment adjustments. CONCLUSION Tuberculosis must be carefully evaluated in all pediatric patients that receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, regardless of the identification of other pathogens. Prophylactic tuberculosis therapy should be considered for high-risk pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients from tuberculosis-endemic regions.

Abstract
End-stage organ failure is commonly treated with transplantation of the respective failing organ. Although outcomes have progressively improved over the decades, early and late complications do occur, and are often diagnosed by imaging. Given the increasing survival rates of transplant patients, the general radiologist may encounter these patients in the outpatient setting. Awareness of the normal radiologic findings after transplantation, and imaging findings of the more common complications, is therefore important. We review and illustrate the imaging assessment of complications from lung, liver, and renal transplantation, highlighting the key similarities and differences between pediatric and adult patients.

Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Central Nervous System Successfully Treated with Chemo-immunotherapy. Viruses 2020; 12:v12040416. [PMID: 32276450 PMCID: PMC7232501 DOI: 10.3390/v12040416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2020] [Revised: 04/04/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Aplastic anemia is a rare blood disease characterized by the destruction of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the bone marrow that, in the majority of cases, is caused by an autoimmune reaction. Patients with aplastic anemia are treated with immunosuppressive drugs and some of them, especially younger individuals with a donor available, can be successfully treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We report here a rare case of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in a 30-year-old female patient who underwent allogeneic HSCT for severe aplastic anemia. The PTLD, which was diagnosed 230 days after transplantation, was localized exclusively in the central nervous system (specifically in the choroid plexus) and manifested with obvious signs of intracranial hypertension. After receiving three cycles of high dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) combined with rituximab, the patient achieved a complete clinical recovery with normalization of blood cell counts, no evidence of EBV reactivation, and no associated neurotoxicity.
