The necropsy findings in 36 Ugandan patients with Hodgkin's disease are presented. One third of the patients were under the age of 20 years. Most cases showed a lymphocyte depleted tumour pattern. Infective complications were extremely unusual, probably because of the short survival time. Treated patients showed a slightly higher incidence of infective disease than those untreated. Death was a result of widespread tumour which usually showed involvement of many lymph nodes and the liver and spleen.
本文呈现了36例乌干达霍奇金病患者的尸检结果。三分之一的患者年龄在20岁以下。大多数病例呈现淋巴细胞消减型肿瘤模式。感染性并发症极为罕见,可能是由于生存时间较短。接受治疗的患者感染性疾病的发生率略高于未接受治疗的患者。死亡是广泛肿瘤所致,肿瘤通常累及多个淋巴结以及肝脏和脾脏。
