- Abstract
The pathogenetic role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the onset of PTLD is widely documented in the literature; indeed, about 70% of patients test positive for infection within three months of transplantation [[4]]. However, this therapy exposes patients to quite serious consequences, such as recurrent infections and PTLD - a rare complication of solid organ transplantation. Keywords: monoclonal component (MC); monoclonal gammopathy (MG); pediatric liver transplantation; post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD); serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) EN monoclonal component (MC) monoclonal gammopathy (MG) pediatric liver transplantation post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) e250 e252 3 10/04/22 20221001 NES 221001 To the Editor, Monoclonal gammopathies (MG) are a group of disorders ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to malignant plasma cell dyscrasias, characterized by the presence of a monoclonal component (MC) at protein electrophoresis of serum or urine [[1]].
