[The incidence of Hodgkin's disease: characteristics of its appearance, histological types].
In study of lymphogranulomatosis (LGM), epidemiological surveys and so-called "Rye Classification" for separation of histological types significantly helped to get to know the background and circumscription of etiopathogenesis of the disease. In her paper author analysed histological distribution of types, distribution of sex of patients, their average age, age-specific incidence of disease in LGM registered cases of ten years in Malignant Lymphoma Reference Centre. On basis of rate of histological types, compared to each other, and of number of LGM cases in childhood, it can be established that in MLRC incidence of LGM corresponded to so-called intermediary types (II), namely it showed characteristics of distribution between developed and economically underdeveloped countries. Age-specific incidence of 716 LGM cases studied by author was ot bimodal character, age-specific incidence of nodular sclerosis was different from it. Presumably this fact and different nature of LGMs of other type or its different pathogenesis are in the background.
