Abstract
|
|
|
|
Patients with acquired immunodeficiency virus(AIDS) have a high risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). Lymphoma in patients with AIDS are likely to involve extralymphatic organs(central nervous system, bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver.) Until recently, the immunocompromised state of patients with concomitant AIDS and Burkitt lymphoma was thought to limit the ability to administer intensive chemotherapeutic regimens due to infection rate. However, the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have led investigators to treat HIV-positive patients with the same intensive chemotherapy regimens used to treat immunocompetent patients. In this report we describe a 52-year-old male with AIDS who diagnosed burkitt's lymphoma involving the central nervous system and bone marrow. He presented with lower back pain, paraplesia and ptosis. We began to administer intensive chemotherapy with HAART.
