Abstract

Fatal opportunistic infections developed in three homosexual men with Hodgkin's disease. Widely disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma developed in one, and another had persistent lymphadenopathy with a biopsy specimen showing benign follicular hyperplasia two years before the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. Physicians are alerted to the possible association of Hodgkin's disease and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). They are cautioned to consider the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease in homosexual men with lymphadenopathy and warned of the risk of serious infections in homosexual men receiving therapy for Hodgkin's disease.
