| Abstract | Three patients with Hodgkin's disease, mixed cellularity subtype, plus infection by human immunodeficiency virus are presented. Two of them were intravenous drug abusers, and one had promiscuous heterosexual behaviour; they all presented B-type symptoms. One patient died because of infection, whereas the other two persisted in complete remission after treatment at 4 and 5 years of follow-up, respectively. None of the patients still alive has developed AIDS. The criteria for considering Hodgkin's disease as an AIDS-related lymphoproliferative disorder are discussed. |
