Discriminant analysis of Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas by age and serum proteins.
Immunonephelometric evaluations of 13 serum proteins were made in 71 patients with two types of lymphoproliferative diseases: Hodgkin's disease (32 patients) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (39 patients). The subjects were differentiated by discriminant analysis by means of age and three selected proteins: properdin factor B, IgM and ceruloplasmin. The results obtained permitted classification of 90% of the cases reported.
