title: Acquired immunodeficiency, malabsorption and lymphoma.
abstract: A 66 year old female with a long history of recurrent pulmonary infection presented with a full-blown malabsorption syndrome. She was found to be suffering from acquired immunodeficiency. She later developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the cervical lymph nodes. The possible relationships between immunodeficiency, malabsorption and lymphoma are discussed.
