Abstract

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) is one of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive T- or NK-lymphoproliferative diseases. It is considered rare and geographically limited to Japan and East Asia. However, CAEBV is drawing international attention, and the number of case reported worldwide is increasing, after its classification in the EBV-positive T- or NK-cell neoplasms, in the 2016 WHO classification. In this article, I review current advances in the study of CAEBV under the new definition and show future directions. In CAEBV, EBV-infected T or NK cells clonally proliferate and infiltrate multiple organs, leading to their failure. These characteristics define CAEBV as a lymphoid neoplasm. However, the main symptom of CAEBV is inflammation. Recently, the mechanisms underlying the development of CAEBV have gradually become clearer. EBV infection of T or NK cells can occur during the acute phase of primary infection with a high EBV load in the peripheral blood. In addition, it was reported that cytotoxic T cells decreased in numbers or showed dysfunction in CAEBV. These findings suggest that undetermined immunosuppressive disorders may underlie persistent infection of T or NK cells. Furthermore, EBV itself contrib...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
