AbstractEpstein Barr virus (EBV) DNA was detected in a monoclonal proliferation of T cells in a three-year-old girl who presented with a history of fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and generalised lymphadenopathy. The disease ran a rapid, fulminant course and the patient died 11 days after presentation. Examination of the blood showed a lymphocytosis of 50 x 109/l with all the cells showing the morphology of large granular lymphocytes. These cells were CD2+3+8+25+. Cytogenetic studies showed the presence of a 6q- clone. Southern blotting and hybridisation with a constant region probe for the T-cell receptor (TCR) β chain gene showed clonal rearrangement of the TCRβ gene. Hybridisation of the Southern blot to the EBV Xho1 probe revealed a clonal pattern of episomal EBV DNA. Our results establish the association between clonal EBV infection to a malignant proliferation of peripheral blood CD8+ T cells.
