Abstract:
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) remains a major complication of transplantation. PTLD is a rare entity and very heterogenous making consensus on diagnosis and treatment very challenging. The majority are Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) driven, CD20+ B-cell proliferations. PTLD does occur following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), but due to the relative short risk period and efficacy of pre-emptive therapy, PTLD following HSCT will not be discussed in this review. This review will focus on the epidemiology, role of EBV, clinical presentation, diagnosis and evaluation and the current and emerging treatment strategies for pediatric PTLD following solid organ transplantation.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
