Lymphoproliferative disorders are recognized as a common cause of secondary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of ITP associated with lymphoproliferative disorders are heterogeneous and often linked to the presence and activity of the malignant clone. A better understanding of the responsible mechanisms leading to ITP in each disease may allow for targete...

We report a patient with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) who developed multiple central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of Epstein-Barr virus infection. XLP, or Duncan syndrome, is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the inability to clear Epstein-Barr virus infection. In addition to Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis, CNS lymphoproliferative disease, and lymphoma, this patie...

introduction: quantification of epstein - barr virus (ebv) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmnc) of allogenic bone marrow transplant (bmt) recipients is important because ebv-associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (ptld) can occur after transplantation due to immunosup-pression therapy. methods: to this end we chose real-time pcr using taqman probe. for the standard curve...
