Coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. A case report
1Department of Pathology, University Hospital, New York University Medical Center, New York, USA.
In the present case there was coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The leukocyte count of 213,000/cu mm, being among the highest reported in association with Hodgkin's disease, is unusual. The patient was treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with an unfavorable response to triethylenemelamine, and short-lived response to mechlorethamine and prednisone. The autopsy confirmed the existence of Hodgkin's disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The coexistence of these two diseases does not imply that one is necessarily related to the other. In view of the continued controversy about the relationships of lymphoproliferative disorders to each other, this case should stimulate interest.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
