title: [Lymphogranulomatosis in siblings (author's transl)].
abstract: In two similar pairs of siblings a histologically confirmed lymphogranulomatosis appeared at an interval of several years in each case. Such observations do not arise through purely coincidental familial frequency but siblings of granulomatosis patients have in fact a much higher risk of contracting Hodgkin's disease than other persons. This gives rise to important considerations for the etiology and pathogenesis of lymphogranulomatosis which are discussed in detail in the light of recent literature.
