Description
<p>Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) is critical owing to lethal complications such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), multiple organ failure, and malignant lymphoma. Here we present two cases of CAEBV who developed rapid and life-threatening disease progression after cytotoxic chemotherapy. Case 1: In a 34-year-old male, CAEBV recurred after 4-month remission obtained by initial therapy with etoposide, cyclosporine, and prednisolone. Accordingly, cord blood transplantation was planned. A day after administering high-dose melphalan as the conditioning, he developed respiratory failure, pancytopenia, and hyperferritinemia. He died 3 days later. Case 2: A 53-year-old female attained remission after initial therapy for CAEBV. After 1 month, she relapsed, and high-dose cytarabine (HDAC) was administered. A day after HDAC administration, she suddenly developed respiratory failure, which was followed by multiple organ failure. She died 3 days later. Thus, planned strategy for prompt allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is necessary to prevent disease progression and control cytokinemia before cytotoxic chemotherapy for CAEBV.</p>
