HIV-related non-Hodgkin lymphomas affecting the oral cavity: a clinicopathologic study of 11 cases
HIV-related non-Hodgkin lymphomas of the oral cavity are rare lesions with aggressive clinical behaviour. The aim of this study is to describe the clinicopathological features of a series of HIV-related oral non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Eleven cases of oral lymphomas affecting HIV-positive patients were retrieved from 2012 to 2019. Clinicopathological features regarding age, sex, tumour location, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, disease stage and follow-up were obtained. Histologic, immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization for EBV detection were done for diagnosis confirmation. Overall survival was estimated by Kaplan?Meier curve. Males predominated, with a mean age of 40.3 years-…
Association between oral HSV-1 and survival in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplanted patients
Introduction: This study was designed to investigate the effect of oral HSV-1 shedding on the survival of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplanted (allo-HSCT) patients. Methods: One hundred nineteen allo-HSCT patients were included in the study and divided in three groups: before transplant, 100 days after transplant and 1 year of allo-HSCT. Healthy volunteers matched by age and gender were also selected. Oral swabs were performed and the nested PCR was used to detect HSV-1 presence in the oral mucosa. In statistical analysis, chi-square test was used to test the distribution of HSV1 shedding among the three groups. Time to death after allo-HSCT was displayed by means of the Kaplan-M…
