Abstract

We report sustained remission of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in a 27-year-old female patient treated with third-party EBV-specific T cells followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The viremia cleared after administration of anti-T-lymphocyte globulin for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Subsequent expansion of EBV-infected host T cells was controlled by transfusion of donor-derived EBV-specific T cells.
