B Cell Lymphoma in HIV positive Patients Histopathological Perspective

Abstract

HIV has turned into a global epidemic and is a source of high morbidity as well as mortality. It has been observed that in HIV infections there is a profound depletion of the CD4 helper-inducer subset of lymphocytes. As these cells are most important for immunologic functioning, the clinical disease manifestations of immunosuppression and susceptibility to opportunistic infections and neoplasms are well documented in these patients. The immunologic deficits that are associated with HIV infection are very widespread and a thorough look out for the same needs to be done.The article provides an insight into associated B cell Lymphomas associated with HIV positive Patients .
