This study assessed the association of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a highly HBV-endemic area. The prevalence of either HBV or HCV infection in 235 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was compared with that of an age- and sex-matched hospital control group of 235 patients. The prevalence of HBV infection was higher in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (15.5%) than control (8.1%), but the prevalence of HCV infection in the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients (2.1%) and control group (3%) was similar. HBV prevalence increased significantly with age in the B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients. The presence of HBV proteins and DNA in lymphoma tissues and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HBV-infected non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients was also investigated using immunohistochemistry and PCR. HBV DNA was frequently detected in PBMCs from HBV-infected non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, but HBV antigens were not. Therefore, HBV infection, but not HCV infection, was associated with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Korea, suggesting a possible role for HBV in the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
本研究评估了在乙肝病毒(HBV)高度流行地区,乙肝病毒(HBV)和丙肝病毒(HCV)感染与非霍奇金淋巴瘤之间的关联。将235例非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的HBV或HCV感染患病率与235例年龄和性别匹配的医院对照组患者进行比较。B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的HBV感染患病率(15.5%)高于对照组(8.1%),但非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者(2.1%)和对照组(3%)的HCV感染患病率相似。在B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者中,HBV患病率随年龄显著增加。还使用免疫组织化学和聚合酶链反应(PCR)研究了HBV感染的非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的淋巴瘤组织和外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中HBV蛋白和DNA的存在情况。在HBV感染的非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的PBMC中经常检测到HBV DNA,但未检测到HBV抗原。因此,在韩国,HBV感染而非HCV感染与B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤相关,提示HBV在非霍奇金淋巴瘤发生中可能起作用。
