A Case of Early Occurrence of Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders in the Allograft after Kidney Transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication after transplantation (Tx). The incidence pattern appears to be divided into two groups, depending on the onset time, as within 1 or 2 years after Tx and thereafter (early and late, respectively). We report very early onset and rapid progression of PTLD after kidney Tx. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old man with a 12-year history of hemodialysis underwent deceased donor kidney Tx from a 62-year-old male donor. Serological examination revealed negative antibodies in the recipient for viral capsid and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nuclear antigens. Graft function recovery was delayed, possibly because of recurrent bacterial urinary tract infections, and the patient was weaned from dialysis on
