Abstrakt: A recent report from the University of Florida discusses the management of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) associated with the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). The usual treatment for PTLD includes reducing immunosuppression and chemotherapy with rituximab. However, if PTLD is refractory to rituximab, limited therapies are available.
