These lymphomas are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in 70% of cases and Hodgkin's disease (HD) in 30% of cases. Their localization is often extra-nodal with early dissemination. B-cell high grade NHL predominates. The most frequent histological types are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (30 to 40%) and Burkitt's lymphoma (40 to 50%). Other histological types are low-grade B-cell lymphoma, polymorphic B cell lymphoma and primary effusion lymphoma. Three main factors are predominant in HIV-related lymphomagenesis: cellular immunodeficiency, oncogene viruses (Epstein-Barr and HHV8) and molecular lesions. HIV-related cellular immunodeficiency leads to the increase of EBV infected B-cells and to the diminution of antitumor immunity. Clonal EBV genome is found in lymphoma cells in 30 to 70% of cases of HIV-related NHL. It expresses oncogenic proteins including LMP-1 which behaves like an activated CD40. It induces the expression of intra-cellular genes which stimulate cell growth and inhibit apoptosis. Cytogenetic and molecular lesions are not specific to HIV-related NHL or to histological subtypes. A better knowledge of these mechanisms should lead to the development of specific targeted treatments (antiviral, cytotoxic anti-EBV lymphocytes, cell cycle regulators).</p>","PeriodicalId":75505,"journal":{"name":"Annales de medecine interne","volume":"154 8","pages":"523-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40856121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caregivers used the validated Doloplus-2 scale. The three assessments were considered consistent when all three indicated the presence or absence of pain. All inpatients (447) were included. The prevalence of pain was 57% when assessment was performed by caregivers and 53% when it was performed by physicians.

Patients and physicians often reported leg pain. Assessment of pain produced a higher level of pain intensity when performed by patients than when by physicians. Furthermore, 88% of patients reporting pain received pain relief treatment: nevertheless patients felt that their pain was satisfactorily managed in only half of their locations, and they had a less positive appreciation of their level of pain management than physicians did.
