| Paper #18: Hepatitis C infection is not associated with systemic
HIV-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: a cohort study
>"Conclusions: In this immunocompromised patient population, there was no
association between HCV infection and an increased risk of lymphoma."
Ah! The good news is that there's no bad news. And the bad news is that
that's all the good news there is.
>"ED NOTE from Jules Levin: this is an important question and so we need
better designed studies to tease out the possibility that HCV & HIV may
cause higher rates of NHL in certain HIV+ patient populations."
Yeah. Better studies. I'm all for that.
