Reporte de caso: linfoma de Burkitt y síndrome de Guillain Barré en paciente con reciente diagnóstico de VIH

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is one of the most frequent neoplasms observed in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (1). NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) have been associated with HIV infection since the beginning of the epidemic, the former being considered an AIDS-defining disease. It has been estimated that the incidence of NHL in patients with HIV infection is 100 times higher than that found in the general population (2) and in cases of HL it is between 5 and 15 times the rate of the general population (3). In HIV-infected patients, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLB) and Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) are the most common forms of NHL. Neuromuscular disorders, such as Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS), constitute another group of complications related to HIV, which, although not as frequent, should lead to suspicion of infection (7,8) this entity has also been related to different types of tumors, particularly lymphomas (9). The following installment presents the case of a 45-year-old male patient recently diagnosed with HIV who has multiple complications such as Guillain Barré syndrome and lymphoma of Burkitt , these entities can coexist and overlap, so early recognition and proper management are important
