HCV and HGV in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Abstract

A causative role of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) has been discussed in the pathogenesis of mixed cryoglobulinaemia and in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. No data are available concerning the newly discovered hepatitis G virus (HGV) and extrahepatic manifestations such as haematological malignancies. But, HCV and HGV most probably belong to the same family of Flavivirus. Consequently, we looked for the prevalence of HCV, HGV and cryoglobulins in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Serum samples from 69 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were studied. Diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was established according to the Kiel classification. Active HCV- and HGV infections were investigated using polymerase chain reaction for detection of viral RNA. Cryoglobulins were detected from serum and monoclonal immunoglobulin components were analysed with immunofixation electrophoresis. In addition, we assessed the clinical course of HCV- and HGV-infected patients under chemotherapy. Three of 69 (4.3%) patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were HCV-infected and nine non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients (13.0%) were positive for hepatitis G virus RNA. All HGV infected patients were suffering from low-grade non-Hodgkin's lympho...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
