Abstract:
:Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a severe complication in high-risk allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement of PTLD is a very rare event in patients with HSCT. As no established standard therapy in CNS-EBV-PTLD is available, the aim of this study was analysis of the safety and efficacy of intrathecal rituximab therapy in a group of eight children and adolescents with CNS-EBV-PTLD. Seven patients responded to therapy: all clinical symptoms and EBV-DNA viral load resolved after a median 2 (range: 1-7) doses of rituximab. However, some magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in brain scan persisted in two patients. In all patients, except one, no adverse events of the therapy were observed. In conclusion, intrathecal rituximab administration seems to be an effective and safe method of treatment of CNS-EBV-PTLD in pediatric stem cell recipients. We recommend this treatment modality for further investigation.
