HIV-related lymphomas in adults served in the public health network

Abstract: Individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have higher morbidity and mortality due to cancer, which is the third most common cause of death in this group, despite the high effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART). We describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics, initial staging and outcome of HIV-related lymphoma. We included 18 patients in the study, of whom 61.1% were male, mean age 41 years. Nine of the 18 patients (50%) had a diagnosis of HIV infection concurrent w… Show more

“…Despite optimal ART, PLWH and comorbid psychiatric illness had a significant increase in psychiatric disease burden after knowing their HIV status, especially men. The potential explanations for the higher psychiatric disease burden could be multifactorial, which may include both primary and secondary organic psychiatric disorders (29)(30)(31), coping with the infection (33,34), stress factors such as stigmatization (35,36), impaired neurotransmitter biosynthesis of at least tryptophan and phenylalanine (16), burden imposed by lifelong adherence to ART, an impending risk for therapy failure (37), and comparatively high morbidity and mortality rates despite effective ART (38)(39)(40).…”
