Manifestations of Fulminant CD8 T-cell Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder Following the Administration of Rituximab for Lymphadenopathy with a High Level of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Replication after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Abstract: We herein report the case of a 22-year-old woman with severe aplastic anemia who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). After HSCT, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA load in the peripheral blood gradually increased, and the patient presented with a fever and lymphadenopathy on day 56 post-HSCT. Although we administered rituximab, her clinical condition worsened. After rituximab treatment, CD8 T-cells emerged and became dominant in the peripheral blood, some of which were positive o… Show more
