Studies have identified solid organ transplant recipients who remain asymptomatic despite maintaining chronic high Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral loads. We examined clinical manifestations, EBV gene expression, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, and specific T-cell responses to EBV infection in pediatric renal transplant patients.
