Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy--an update.
Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) is a relatively rare serious disorder of the lymphatic system with various organ manifestations and a significant immunological background. It probably represents an abnormal reaction to different chemical and biological antigens. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is still poorly understood. The authors report on findings in a series of five patients with AILD. Stress is laid on polymorphous symptomatology, unpredictable course and on resulting diagnostic as well as therapeutic difficulties in dealing with the disease.
