The data from Zuckerman and colleagues suggest that this association also occurs in the United States [1].We retrospectively reviewed 312 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma at City of Hope National Medical Center (in suburban Los Angeles) in whom HCV serologic studies were done for screening and during follow-up after therapy between February 1992 and December 1995 [2]. Thirty-six of these 312 patients (11.5% [95% CI, 8.2% to 15.6%]) were positive for HCV antibody. Twelve patients were female, and 24 ...References1.
