title: Reactive Epstein-Barr virus-related polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder in a patient with AIDS.
abstract: Reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus infection and polyclonal expansion of lymphocytes is well-documented in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and is considered a potential precursor to lymphoma. We report an analogous case of posttransplantation polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection who was successfully treated with antiretroviral therapy.
