Palacios et al. [18] compared general patients with HL and HIV-positive children with HL, and it was found that an association of HL was seen with a lower absolute CD4+ count (209 vs. 620 cells/mL, P = 0.08) and higher viral load during audiological assessment (2239 copies of - viral RNA/mL vs. 1203 copies of viral RNA/mL, P = 0.22); however, statistical significance did not exist. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is Hodgkins lymphoma.
