AB Hodgkin's disease (HD) is not currently included within the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) classification system for AIDS. Upon HD diagnosis,
HIV(human immunosuppressive virus)-positive patients are generally found
within Stages III or IV of the Ann Arbor HD classification system,
already exacerbating the problem of treatment. In contrast, HIV-negative
patients diagnosed with HD are generally found within Stages I or II.
Epidemiology and the presence of secondary lymphomas, opportunistic
infections, or aggressive pathologies, accompanied by low survival rate
and timing of HD diagnosis suggest that HD should be included among
conditions indicating AIDS manifestation.
