title: [Hypothermia during chemotherapy for lymphomas].
abstract: There are only few reports in the literature on the occurrence of hypothermia after chemotherapy. It occurred after various cytostatics and lasted for few hours to several days. Our material consisted of 11 patients with malignant lymphoma who were given chemotherapy protocols including cisplatin. In 5 patients (2 with Hodgkin's disease and 3 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) who had high fever, after treatment the temperature decreased down to 34.3 degrees C. Hypothermia disappeared spontaneously after few days. The drug responsible for this effect in our patients was cisplatin.
