Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the antibody response (AR) in 54 hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients after receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine, showing an initial AR positivity rate of 80.8% at one month, which slightly decreased to 85.7% at three months.
- Among the cohort, a significant number of participants achieved high antibody titers at both measurement points, but a noted decline in titers occurred from one month to three months post-vaccination.
- Negative factors impacting AR included pre-treatment conditions like hypogammaglobulinemia and specific medications like anti-CD20 antibodies, suggesting HSCT patients can benefit from vaccination around six months post-transplant even in the
A 24-year-old man with classical Hodgkin lymphoma was lost to follow-up after metabolic complete remission (mCR). He presented 4 years later with B-symptoms and impaired clinical condition. Relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed.

The significance of serum beta-2 microglobulin (sβm) in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is controversial. We analyzed 915 patients with HL, who were treated with ABVD or equivalent regimens with or without radiotherapy. Sβm levels were measured by a radioimmunoassay (upper normal limit 2.

Multiple left-sided foci of markedly increased metabolic activity were observed on PET/CT (SUVmax up to 22.3), located at the inguinal, iliac, and para-aortic lymph nodes along with small-sized right inguinal lymphadenopathy.
