Patients at greatest risk of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) are those who acquire primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection after solid organ transplantation. The incidence of PTLD among patients who are EBV-seropositive before transplant is lower, and little is known about the differences in presentation and outcome of this population. We describe the characteristics of EBV-seropositive transplant recipients (R+) who developed PTLD and compare survival outcomes with EBV-seronegative recipients (R-).
