Feedback:
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma peak onset is after 50 years and is common among clients with immunosuppression. There is no correlation with client that has diabetes and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Forty percent of affected clients test positive for Epstein-Barr virus that causes infectious mononucleosis and that test positive for Reed-Sternberg cells in the lymph nodes that are correlated with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
