Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) involves B-cell expansion driven by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), where B cells can mutate and become malignant, often occurring in immunosuppressed patients after organ transplantation.
Post-transplant lymphoproliferatieve stoornis (PTLD) is een B-cel expansie gedreven door Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), waarbij B-cellen kunnen muteren en maligne worden. Dit kan optreden bij immuungecompromitteerde patiënten na bijvoorbeeld orgaantransplantatie.
