Inflammation in HIV Positive Non Hodgkin
نویسندگان
چکیده
The majority of people with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa, with South Africa having the highest number of cases recorded world-wide [1,2]. Haematological manifestations of HIV including Non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are common and diverse, and can occur at all stages of infection [3]. Preliminary studies conducted in South Africa suggest that HIV associated lymphomas are increasing in number with increasing HIV prevalence [1]. However, accurate epidemiologic, aetiologic and clinical data of HIV+ NHL is limited in Sub-Saharan Africa.
