PY - 1997 DA - 1997/08/01 TI - Unsuccessful CTL transfusion in a case of post-BMT Epstein–Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-LPD) JO - Bone Marrow Transplantation SP - 337 EP - 340 VL - 20 IS - 4 AB - A patient with AML (FAB M4Eo) developed EBV-LPD 1.5 months after allogeneic BMT from his one locus-mismatched mother, the diagnosis being confirmed on day +82. Attempts to eradicate the monoclonally proliferating LPD using chemotherapy (VP16/dexa- methasone) followed by two doses of EBV-specific CTL and one dose of unstimulated donor leukocytes were not successful. We assume delay of infusions (day +100, +107) and insufficient CTL cell doses (total 9.2 × 106) may have been responsible for the poor outcome in this case.
