Abstract


Background: This investigation concentrated on Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the Iraqi province of Al-Muthanna. Environmental and immune characteristics have a role in this malignancy. In an attempt to assess Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas in Iraqi patients, in addition to the detection of specific immunological and virological data, 30 patients and 10 controls were scrutinized.

Methods: Forty subjects with an age range of 20–82 years, 30 with lymphomas (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin), and 10 with no lymphomas were analyzed. The tissue blocks were tested for EBER-EBV and PP65-CMV viruses using the in-situ hybridization (ISH) technique with the aid of kits of specific probes for viruses. Also, immunological markers such as CD markers were investigated using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Results: In the Iraqi Al-Muthanna governorate Lymphoma cases rose notably among people beyond sixty. Hodgkin lymphoma cases were found more often than non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases, with a predominance of females in both types. The results of HCMV and EBV detection illustrated a higher prevalence of these viruses, especially in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accompanied by related immunological changes in lymphoma patients than in the lymphoma-free group.

Conclusions: In Al-Muthanna province, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas were slightly increased in females, along with more prevalent HCMV and EBV infections.
