Abstract

HIV/AIDS is considered to be revealing of oncological diseases, of which most frequent are lymphomas. The main causes for this type of disease are non-adherence and non-compliance to antiretroviral therapy (ART). We are hereby presenting a clinical case of lymphoma in an HIV-infected adult, with non-adherence for 30 months. In such a case the interdisciplinary collaboration with the hematologist was essential for the patient’s survival.
