Summary of published data for solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplant patients with PTLD

Study Author/year of publication Patients (n) Total (SOT/alloHCT) Salient Features of EBVneg PTLD
Nelson 200023 17 (15/2) - Advanced age compared to EBVpos PTLD (50y vs 40y)
- Later PTLD onset compared to EBVpos PTLD (50 mo vs 10 mo)
- Increased incidence in recent years
- More often monomorphic PTLC
- More aggressive course
- Similar response to reducing immunosuppression
Reshef 2008 24 30 (30/0) - Similar age compared to EBVpos PTLD
- Late onset
- More often monomorphic PTLD and DLBCL
- Associated with failure of grafted organ

- Improved survival in renal transplant compared to lung transplant recipients
Luskin 201522 176 (176/0) - Higher recent incidence of EBVneg PTLD
- Late onset
- More often monomorphic PTLD
- Similar high risk features compared to EBVpos PTLD

- Similar overall survival compared to EBVpos PTLD
Leblond 19985 11(0/11) - Later onset compared to EBVpos PTLD
