Article Synopsis
- The study investigates health-seeking behavior (HSB) in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) compared to those with other chronic conditions in Southwest Nigeria, highlighting the need for better management strategies.
- Results showed that SCD patients were more likely to seek treatment from private facilities and informal care providers, with a significant percentage exhibiting poor HSB, particularly among those without health insurance coverage.
- The findings emphasize the importance of educating SCD patients about appropriate care options, promoting health insurance enrollment, and addressing issues related to the high use of non-hospital care facilities.

T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma (TCRBCL) is considered a rare variant of aggressive B cell lymphoma characterized by few neoplastic B cells and a large reactive infiltrate with striking similarities to nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma.A case of a 46 year old man referred with a 5 months history of generalized lymphadenopathy, weight loss, low grade pyrexia and two separately reported lymph node histology consistent with TCRBCL is described.The clinical course was indeed aggressive because in spite of initial treatment with four cycles of CHOP combination chemotherapy, followed by R+CHOP(x 6 cycles), signs of tumor re-growth/infiltration were frequently observed.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: A 52-year-old male had been diagnosed earlier as having chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and treated for 6 months with chlorambucil, although compliance was poor and the patient eventually stopped treatment. He presented to our hospital 18 months later with clinical features in keeping with Richter's syndrome.
