Post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are a clinicopathologically heterogeneous group of lymphoid proliferations. The majority are of B-cell origin and associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. In contrast, the development of T-cell PTLD is much less common and EBV does not appear to be involved in pathogenesis. In this report we describe three patients who developed large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukaemia after renal transplantation. These patients had clonal expansion of CD3+, CD8+, CD57+, CD56- LGL. We were unable to detect CMV antigen or find evidence for EBV or human T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma virus genome in the LGL from these patients. These data show that LGL leukaemia should be included as one of the types of T-cell proliferations which can occur post transplant.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D009894 Opportunistic Infections An infection caused by an organism which becomes pathogenic under certain conditions, e.g., during immunosuppression. Infection, Opportunistic,Infections, Opportunistic,Opportunistic Infection
D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.
