Autoimmune disease in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: occurrence and impact on outcome.

Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of AID among patients with DLBCL. AIDs categorized as primarily B-cell mediated (in this study mainly RA, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome) may be associated with inferior OS. AID patients may be more prone to neutropenic fever compared to patients without concomitant AID. PMID: 31131659 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
