[Angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Apropos of a clinical case].
Reference is made to a personal case in an account of the clinical and pathological criteria that provide the diagnostic hinges of angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Stress is laid on the systemic and progressive nature of the disease, and support is given to the view that is an affection of the immuno-competent system. The fact that the course is unpredictable is seen as a reason for adopting an extremely cautions therapeutic approach based on corticosteroid hormones. Resort to the cytotoxic chemotherapeutical drugs customarily employed in other lymphoproliferative forms should be reserved for a few selected cases.
