Abstract

In this hospital-based, multicenter case-control study we investigated the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related markers and HBV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection among B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL) cases and controls. Four hundred newly diagnosed B-NHL cases and 392 controls from other departments of the same hospitals were studied. The prevalence of positivity for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was 8.5% among B-NHL cases and 2.8% among controls (adjusted odds ratio, 3.67; 95% confidence interval, 1.75-7.66). HBV/HCV co-infection was found in four cases, but in no controls. The finding of a positive association between HBV infection and BNHL raises the possibility that HBV may play an etiologic role in the induction of B-NHL.
