Risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and lymphoproliferative precursor diseases in U.S. veterans with hepatitis C virus

Article Abstract:

A study among military veterans has revealed that Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) causes lymphoproliferation resulting in 20 to 30 percent increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In HCV infected patients, risk of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, a low-grade lymphoma, increased 3 fold and there was also increase in risk for cryoglobulinemia.
