Associations of Viral Seroreactivity with AIDS-Related Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with substantially increased incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This risk may be driven, in part, by reduced immune control over viral infections in the setting of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), although the lymphomagenic mechanisms are not yet established. We used bead-based multiplex assays to measure antibody seroreactivity to 32 viral antigens representing 22 different viral infections (human herpesviruses 1-8, hepatitis B and C virus, human T-lymphotropic virus type-1, and human polyomaviruses) in two prospective HIV cohorts. Incident (n = 28) and prevalent (n = 38) AIDS-related NHL cases were matched by age, sex, race, and CD4 count to 67 HIV-positive control individuals without AIDS-NHL.
