Abstract
According to the literature, malignant lymphomas occur in 5%–20% of patients infected with HIV [1–10]. Malignant lymphoma was shown in one study to be the immediate cause of death, as determined at autopsy, in 2% of 110 patients with AIDS [11], whilst Kaposi’s sarcoma was the cause of death in 5% of patients. In the following; results published by various authors will be discussed, in addition to results relating to 16 of our own patients.
