Popis: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) are severe complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A series of risk factors have been found to predict EBV viremia and PTLD, including the T-cell depletion, reduced intensity conditioning, and alternative donor. The rituximab pre-emptive therapy could improve PTLD prognosis significantly, but the trigger of initiating rituximab pre-emptive therapy has not been well established. Additionally, EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell (CTL) is a promising approach to treat EBV-PTLD.
