Abstract: The treatment of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) remains empirical. We review our treatment of seven cases of PTLD consisting of five interventions 1) reduction of immunosuppression; 2) antiviral drugs; 3) interferon-; 4) gamma-globulins; and 5) anti-CD19 monoclonal antibodies.
