ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN:
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma has been linked to infection with Coxiella burnetii, potentially through overproduction of IL-10 during infection with C. burnetii. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Description of a case report.RESULTS:
We describe a patient with retroperitoneal non-Hodgkin lymphoma and vascular infection with C. burnetii. Immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization targeting specific C. burnetii 16S rRNA were performed on the retroperitoneal lymphoma tissue sample obtained at diagnosis of NHL. Both were strongly positive for the presence of C. burnetii.CONCLUSIONS:
This case provokes questions regarding a potential association between C. burnetii and NHL, and underlines the importance of further exploration of this association.Palabras clave
