The lymphatic and immune system
Consist of a network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland and tonsil.
It collects excess fluid throughout and the body and returns it to the circulatory system.
It assist the circulatory system in transporting substances throughout the body.
It serves as the body primary defense system against invasion of pathogens.

Hodgkin’s Disease
It is a type of lymphoma(cancer) originating from lymphocytes.
It is named after Thomas Hodgkin who first described abnormality in the lymph system.
It is characterized by orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and the development of system symptoms.
Treated with radiation and chemotherapy depending on age and sex.

Hodgkin’s disease Survival rate is high especially if detected earlier. TYPES It can be subdivided into 4 pathological subtypes
based on Reed- Sternberg cell morphology1. Nodular sclerosing: it is the most common and
composed of tumor nodules showing scattered lacunars.
2. Mixed- cellularity subtype: it is composed of numerous RS cell admixed with numerous inflammatory cells like lymphocytes, histiocytes, eosinophils and plasma cells without sclerosis. It

TYPES
It is associated with EBV infection.3. Lymphocyte rich: It is rare subtype which
shows many features which may cause diagnostic confusion with nodular lymphocyte.
4. Lymphocyte depleted: it is composed of a large number of RS cells with only few reactive lymphocytes.

Specific cause is unknown or multifunctional.
Risk factor include:1. Sex2. Age ,15-40 and over 55.3. Family history4. Weakened immune system5. Infection with HIV6. Prolong use of human growth hormones

Symptoms get better without treatment. Corticosteroids Immunosuppressive medication such as
azathioprine.
Cause It is unknown. In sac, clumps of abnormal tissue
(granulomas) form certain organs of the body

Kaposi’s sarcoma It is a tumor caused by human herpes
virus 8(HHV8). Originally described by Moritz Kaposi
practicing in the University of Vienna in 1872.
Caused by viral infection.
Classification HHV8is responsible for all variety of
Kaposi's sarcoma

Classification
1. Indolent disease: this is seen on men from the Mediterranean region and East European descent.
2. Endemic Kaposi's sarcoma was later described from young African people from sub- Sahara Africa.
3. Transplant related Kaposi's sarcoma has been described. It arises when an HHV8 infected organ is transplanted into someone who has not been exposed to the virus.

Signs and symptoms
Lesions are nodules or blotches May be red, purple, brown, black and
papular. May appear on skin, mouth,
gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract
Treatment and prevention Blood test to detect antibodies against
KSHV have been developed.

Treatment and prevention
Kissing is a risk factor. Lab test done on organs before transplant.
Causes Interaction of HIV and weak immune
system HHV8 POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS Cough and shortness of breath Leg swelling that may be painful
