Nowadays, o...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus-Negative Lymphoproliferative Disorders after Liver Transplantation
Lymphoproliferative disorders following liver transplantation are often Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related highgrade B cell lymphomas. EBV-negative and low-grade lymphoma is a very rare condition after cadaveric as well as living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Herein we report a case of follicular lymphoma with negative EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA), IgM, IgG and Epstein-Barr virus-encoded ...
