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.
霍奇金淋巴瘤(HD)目前未被纳入美国疾病控制中心(CDC)的艾滋病分类系统。在诊断出HD时,HIV(人类免疫抑制病毒)阳性患者通常处于安阿伯HD分类系统的III期或IV期,这已经使治疗问题更加严重。相比之下,被诊断出患有HD的HIV阴性患者通常处于I期或II期。HD的流行病学、继发性淋巴瘤的存在、机会性感染或侵袭性病理情况,再加上低生存率以及HD诊断的时机,表明HD应被列入表明艾滋病表现的病症之中。
