This is the first case of concurrent Mycobacterium genavense lymphadenitis and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) in the same lymph node with no immunocompromised history. M. genavense infection is a rare opportunistic infection mainly for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Although no immunodeficiency was detected in our patient, our case indicates that the immunodeficiency in the background of EBV latency type III and the immunosuppression by malignant lymphoma itself might induce the M. genavense lymphadenitis. This case highly alerts clinicians the immunosuppressive state of EBV-positive LPD with latency type III even if any serological immunodeficient factors are not detected.

Abstract The association of the Epstein-Barr virus with human immunodeficiency virus–associated primary central nervous system lymphomas is well known. We describe a pediatric patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus who developed a lesion in the central nervous system that appeared to be histologically reactive and that proved to be an Epstein-Barr virus–associated monoclonal B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder by molecular analysis. An 8-year-old girl was diagnosed with vertically transmitted human immunodeficiency virus infection at age 5, for which she was treated empirically with a combination of zidovudine and didanosine. At the age of 7 years, during evaluation for entry into an antiretroviral protocol, a single hypodense frontal lobe lesion was identified by computed tomography. After unsuccessful treatment for presumed toxoplasmosis and progressive neurologic deterioration, a stereotactic brain biopsy was performed. Although the biopsy contained a polymorphic lymphoid infiltrate that appeared to be cytologically reactive, polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization studies revealed a monoclonal Epstein-Barr virus–associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, which was reminiscent of polymorphic B-cell hyperplasia observed in the setting of immunosuppression following organ transplantation. Postoperative therapy included steroids and antiretroviral therapy. The lesion decreased slightly in size, and the child's neurologic status was relatively unremarkable for 5 months. Subsequently, she developed cytomegalovirus retinitis, progressive encephalopathy, and died with pancytopenia. This case represents a newly described manifestation of Epstein-Barr virus–associated lymphoproliferative disorder, a diagnosis that should be considered in patients with neurologic symptoms and immunodeficiency. In addition, this case exhibited histologic features reminiscent of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease, a histologic pattern that to our knowledge has not previously been reported in the setting of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Abstract Nasal natural killer (NK) lymphoma associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a rare lymphoma that has not yet been reported in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This report describes the first case, to our knowledge, of nasal NK cell lymphoma in an HIV-positive patient. A 50-year-old African man presented with an obstructive nasopharyngeal tumor, leading to the diagnosis of HIV infection. Nasal biopsy specimens showed NK cell lymphoma, confirmed on nasal tissues by morphologic, immunohistochemical, and polymerase chain reaction studies using a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis technique that showed no T-cell receptor γ rearrangement. The EBV was detected by in situ hybridization. The patient received chemotherapy but died from infection. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of nasal NK cell lymphoma associated with EBV in an HIV patient. Involvement of EBV in HIV non–B-cell lymphomas may represent a further manifestation of opportunistic EBV infection arising in these patients.

Abstract Objectives: To molecularly characterise the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus genotypes and Pashtun ethnicity. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2018 to December 2019 after approval from the Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, and comprised blood samples from transgender sex workers who were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus-1 and seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus residing in two cities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and Islamabad, the federal capital. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples were collected retrospectively, but collection of blood samples from the study subjects was purely on the basis of physical availability. ?-globin gene and EBER-1 were amplified for qualitative assessment and existence of Epstein-Barr virus. Characterisation of EBNA-2 was done through nested polymerase chain reaction. Results: Of the 80 subjects, 40(50%) each were seropositive and seronegative individuals. The overall mean age was 28±6.917 years. Among the seropositive group, 38(95%) were homosexual and 2(5%) were heterosexual. Among the seropositive group, 16(40%) had Epstein-Barr virus genotype 1 and 6(15%) had genotype 2, while co-infections were found in 2(5%) subjects. In the seronegative group, 36(90%) subjects had Epstein-Barr virus genotype 1, while there was no case of genotype 2 or co-infection. EBV-2 genotypes with HIV seropositivity showed strong association (p=0.005). Amplification for the EBER-1 gene was done in all the 80(100%) samples. Conclusion: Epstein-Barr virus EBV genotype 1 was found to be the most frequent type, while genotype 2 and co-infections were detected only seropositive samples. Continuous...

Abstract Pancytopenia is a condition when person has low count of all three types of blood cells causing a triage of anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. It should not be considered as a disease in itself but rather the sign of a disease that needs to be further evaluated. Among the various causes, viral infections like Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and Parvovirus B19 have been implicated. Pancytopenia is a rare complication and not commonly seen in patients with COVID 19 disease. Here, we report a case of pancytopenia in previously immunocompetent elderly male patient with SARS-CoV2 infection.
