Risk factors and clinical outcomes of pediatric liver transplant recipients with post ‐transplant lymphoproliferative disease in a multi‐ethnic Asian cohort

ConclusionsWe report a unique clinicopathologic and risk factor profile in our cohort –early lesion PTLD accounts for the majority and the incidence of monomorphic PTLD remains low. In addition, we show a synergism between CMV naivety and ACR on PTLD risk, a higher prevalence of gastrointestinal manifestations, and a lack of significant association with Epstein‐Barr virus seronegativity.This article is protected by copyright.
