Abstract

Both hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and solid organ transplantation are associated with short-term and long-term immune deficits that result in an increased risk of disseminated infection and malignancy. Here, we discuss these risk factors and the time-course for the development of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders in each transplant type.
