it has been concluded that the best strategy to monitor transplant patients&#44; regarding the detection of the early stages of PTLD and the risk of progressing to neoplastic categories would include the following algorithm&#46;

Firstly&#44; the overlap in the EBV DNA levels in PBMC among transplant patients with and without PTLD&#46; It should be noted that according to the present results and coinciding with other authors<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a>&#44; not all EBV loads defined as &#8220;high&#8221; imply the development of PTLD&#46;</p><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Carefully monitoring an organ recipient with a low or moderate EBV load is also suggested&#44; since a small increase in viral levels may be associated with PTLD&#44; as was observed in this study and previously reported ones<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0195"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a>&#46;</p><p id="par0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The suggested algorithm aims to identify PTLD in the most effective way&#59; however there are patients with PTLD that remain undetected and recipients without PTLD who are included as risky&#46; This points to the need for more specific markers that&#44; when combined with the viral load&#44; result in a more accurate selection of cases of incipient PTLD&#44; allowing to reverse lymphoproliferation in its initial stages&#46;</p><p id="par0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It should be mentioned that the study presented some limitations&#46; One of them is the variety of transplanted organs included&#44; as they show different PTLD prevalence&#46; However&#44; as the EBV levels in healthy carriers were known<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a>&#44; the initial point of rising load &#40;shared by all the transplanted organ groups&#41; could be identified&#46; Furthermore&#44; the number of patients included into each PTLD category was quite different&#44; being the initial stages of PTLD &#40;category 1&#41; the broader&#46; Such category 1 just depicted the beginning of the lymphoproliferation process&#44; which was the aim of the present study&#59; however&#44; all stages of the process were analyzed separately in order to describe the differences among them&#46;</p><p id="par0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally&#44; considering that the determination of the EBV load lacks a gold standard strategy worldwide&#44; this paper provides an in-house methodology&#44; which is analytical&#44; clinically validated&#44; less expensive and more accessible than commercial assays&#46; Thus&#44; it may represent an initial&#44; but very helpful step for the monitoring of transplant patients&#44; especially in low resource settings&#44; where commercial kits are not affordable&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0095" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Ethical disclosures</span><span id="sec0100" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0120">Protection of human and animal subjects</span><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that the procedures followed were in accordance with the regulations of the responsible Clinical Research Ethics Committee and in accordance with those of the World Medical Association and the Helsinki Declaration&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0105" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0125">Confidentiality of data</span><p id="par0235" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have followed the protocols of their work centre on the publication of patient data&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0110" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0130">Right to privacy and informed consent</span><p id="par0240" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors must have obtained the informed consent of the patients and&#47;or subjects mentioned in the article&#46;
