- Abstract
- Little is known about differences between immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) and non-IRIS lymphoma in HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of IRIS and non-IRIS lymphoma in Korean HIV-positive patients on ART compared with lymphoma in those off ART. Of 1490 patients, 41 (3%) had lymphoma. Of these, 27 cases (66%) were classified as lymphoma off ART, eight as IRIS lymphoma, and six as non-IRIS lymphoma on ART. Hodgkin lymphoma was significantly more common among patients with non-IRIS lymphoma on ART than among those with lymphoma off ART (P=0.005), whereas there was no Hodgkin lymphoma among IRIS lymphoma. Stage IV lymphoma was significantly rarer in non-IRIS lymphoma on ART than in lymphoma off ART (P=0.007). Non-IRIS lymphoma on ART tends to have a better survival rate than lymphoma off ART (Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, P=0.167), while IRIS lymphoma exhibited a survival rate similar to lymphoma off ART (P=0.618). In Korean HIV-positive patients, there were significantly more cases of Hodgkin lymphoma of a less advanced stage in non-IRIS lymphoma on ART than in lymphoma off ART, in contrast to IRIS lymphoma.
