Analysis of risk factors for Epstein-Barr virus reactivation and progression to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-transplant infections are common complications, and the reasons are pre-transplant conditioning, time required for post-transplant immune reconstitution, and use of immunosuppressive agents. We aimed to analyze the risk factors for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation and its progression to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children and to determine the EBV PCR diagnostic threshold for PTLD.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 309 patients who underwent allo-HSCT without engraftment failure at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 1, 2016, to December 21, 2021. The occurrences of EBV reactivation and PTLD were also rec
