AB One hundred and four Nigerians with lymphoproliferative malignancies
were tested for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2
(HIV-1 and 2). All the patients with high grade lymphomas in this series
were seronegative for HIV-1 and 2. Only 1 of the 104 patients had
antibody to HIV-1 and none had antibody to HIV-2. Although the single
positive result would suggest a higher HIV-1 seropositivity rate among
the patients compared with the general Nigerian population, it should be
interpreted with caution. This preliminary data emphasizes the need for
an urgent countrywide study of the problem among this category of
patients in Nigeria in view of the low prevalence rate of HIV-1 and 2 in
the country.
