器官移植尤其是心脏移植(当然也包括少量肾移植和骨髓移植)后，免疫抑制剂治疗可促进EB病毒感染T细胞。图示免疫过氧化物酶染色可见EB病毒，是移植后淋巴组织增生症(PTLD)，它象淋巴瘤，但免疫抑制减弱时可消退。
Following organ transplantation, particularly for heart, but also to a lesser extent with kidney and bone marrow, immunosuppressive therapy may promote an expansion of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected T-cells, seen here with immunoperoxidase staining for EBV. This is a post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), which acts like a lymphoma, but will recede when immunosuppression is diminished, if possible.
