Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) lesions in newly diagnosed, advanced Hodgkin's disease (HD) commonly suggest intracranial involvement with HD. However, occasionally this could be the result of a CNS infection. We report a case of concurrent CNS tuberculosis in a patient with stage III E HD the first reported in the English literature. Management of this case and the literature pertaining to infectious complications of HD are reviewed.
