The pathological process may involve the motor cortex, the spinal cord, and the brainstem. 1 Only upper or only lower motor neurons may be affected. The disease may or may not be seen with neoplasms,...

HLA antigens in coeliac disease associated with malignancy.

Coeliac patients are at greater risk than the general population of developing malignant neoplasms, particularly lymphomas. The establishment at the Clinical Research Centre of a national collaborative study of coeliac patients with malignancy provided the opportunity to carry out HLA typing for 55 HLA-A, B and C and the 10 recognised DR antigens on a group of coeliac patients with malignancy. ...

Hodgkins lymphoma with HIV infection.
