Fatal case of Epstein−Barr virus-induced lymphoproliferative disorder associated with a human immunodeficiency virus infection

: This is a case report of an Epstein-Barr virus-induced polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder in a presumably immunocompromised patient with Western blot-confirmed antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus. Postmortem examination revealed a diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with prominent numbers of immunoblasts involving multiple organs and resulting in multiple organ system failure.
