RiskFactorsforDevelopingPTLD

•  Solidorgantransplant– Typeoftransplant

• Heart,heart‐lungandGI– Timefromtransplant

• Medianintervalaftertransplantis6months

– Typeandintensityofimmunosuppression

• OKT3(21.5%),ATG(4.9%),IL‐2receptorantagonist(7.8%),Campath(noassociation)

•  Intensity(triplevs.quadruple),andduration

RiskFactorsforDevelopingPTLD

•  Allogeneicstemcelltransplant– T‐celldepletion– HLAmismatchandsomeHLAtypes

• Relatedvs.unrelated (synergisticwithT‐celldepletion)

• HLAtype:A25,B38vs.A1,8andDR3– Timefromtransplant

• MediantimeintervalafterHSCTis2‐3months
