Abstract: Objective To explore the correlation between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.Methods HCV infection of 208 NHL patients was investigated from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Patients with leukemia or other tumors,and healthy people were used as the control and were pair matched on age and gender.ELISA method was used to detect the HCV-antibody in serum.Results HCV-antibody positive rate in NHL patients [11.5 ％ (24/208)] was significantly higher than those in leukemia patients [3.8 ％ (8/208)] (x2 =8.667,P =0.003),patients with other tumors (6/208,2.9 ％) (x2 =11.639,P =0.001) and healthy people [1.0 ％ (2/208)] (x2 =19.856,P =0.000).Conclusion HCV infection is related to NHL in Henan area.
