Although the exact mechanisms of predisposition to certain malignancies are unclear, HIV (+) cancer patients typically have poorer prognosis. Materials and methods: we included all five HIV positive NHL patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and chemotherapy in our clinic and aim to determine their follow-up outcomes associated with ART. Results: the use of ART in conjunction with chemotherapy regimens lead to better therapeutic outcome in our cases with no mortality over three years of follow-up despite high rates of poor prognostic factors and studies demonstrating 1-year survival rates of approximately 30% in HIV-associated lymphoma. No significant adverse effect has been recorded. Conclusion: we recommend use of ART along with chemotherapy regimens in HIV positive lymphoma patients for better treatment response.Publication Open Access Larynx angioedema as a signal in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a case based guide for acquired angioedema in the setting of lymphoproliferative disorders(Buluş Design, 2021) Öztürk, Erman; Öztürk, Ayşe Bilge; Kısakürek, Zeynep Büşra; Sönmez, Sadi Can; Osmanbaşoğlu, Emre; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; Koç University Hospital; 147629; N/A; N/A; N/APatients with angioedema can present to the internal medicine, emergency medicine, dermatology, or ear nose throat clinics. Physicians may need to assess the patients whose angioedema is unresponsive to antihistamines systematically in collaboration with other subspecialties including hematology, rheumatology, allergy, and immunology. We aimed to provide a concise review of the diagnosis and multi-disciplinary management of acquired angioedema through a case presentation. A 61-year-old woman presented with recurrent angioedema of 4 episodes within one year. She was evaluated by various disciplines such as dermatology and emergency medicine. Antihistamines and steroids were not effective. The complete blood count (CBC) results indicated lymphocytosis (lymphocyte count=9100 k/mu L) and further evaluation of the lymphocytosis with flow cytometry immunophenotyping confirmed a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Since the acquired angioedema diagnosis was confirmed with low C4, C1q, and C1 esterase inhibitor levels, Rituximab 375 mg/m(2) was administered once a week for 4 weeks. The frequency of attacks decreased after rituximab therapy and none of them were life-threatening. In conclusion, when the effective treatment is initiated for the primary diagnosis in acquired angioedema, the numerous emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and the mortality due to life-threatening angioedema episodes can be avoided.
