Background: To know the prevalence of HCV infection in patients diagnosed with B-NHL in our area.
Patients And Method: A group of patients diagnosed with B-NHL between 1998-99 were carefully reviewed (serological tests, HCV RNA, laboratory studies, toxicity, response to treatment and evolution) in a transversal study.
Results: Overall 9/77 (11.68%) of patients tested positive for HCV. Of the 9 patients HCV(+) showed abnormal elevated trans aminases in opposition with 10.3% of patients that tested seronegative.
Conclusion: Compared with normal individuals, we have seen a higher prevalence of HCV in our B-NHL patients. It may be possible that HCV play a role in that lymphoma's pathogenesis.

Department of Global Public Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: Although existing disease preparedness and response frameworks provide guidance about strengthening emergency response capacity, little attention is paid to health service continuity during emergency responses. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, there were 11,325 reported deaths due to the Ebola virus and yet disruption in access to care caused more than 10,000 additional deaths due to measles, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Low- and middle-income countries account for the largest disease burden due to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria and yet previous responses to health emergencies showed that HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria service delivery can be significantly disrupted.
