HIV-associated Castleman Disease

HIV-associated Castleman Disease is a rare disorder affecting the immune system's lymph nodes, often occurring in people with HIV. It involves abnormal growth of lymphatic tissue, leading to enlarged lymph nodes and symptoms like fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue. The disease is linked to immune system imbalance caused by HIV and can be challenging to diagnose. Treatment typically includes therapies targeting the abnormal cell growth and managing HIV infection. While serious, with proper care, many patients can achieve good outcomes.
