Abstract

Although lymphomas have been reported in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, it has rarely been reported from the Indian subcontinent. We present three human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients (two adults and one child) who had non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma - plasmablastic variety, Hodgkin′s lymphoma - nodular sclerosis type II and B cell lymphoma, respectively.

Keywords
