Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases

期刊简介：Reciprocal interdependence between infectious and hematologic diseases (malignant and non-malignant) is well known. This relationship is particularly evident in Mediterranean countries. Parasitosis as Malaria, Leishmaniosis, B Hookworms, Teniasis, very common in the southeast Mediterranean area, infect about a billion people and manifest prevalently with anemia so that they are usually diagnosed mostly by experienced hematologist on blood or bone marrow smear. On the other hand, infections are also a significant problem in patients affected by hematological malignancies. The blood is the primary vector of HIV infection, which otherwise manifest with symptoms related to a reduction in T lymphocytes. In turn, infections can favor the insurgency of hematological malignancies. The causative relationship between Epstein-Barr virus infection, Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis C virus, HIV and lymphoproliferative diseases is well known.

【译文】感染性疾病和血液疾病（恶性和非恶性）之间的相互依赖性是众所周知的。这种关系在地中海国家尤为明显。寄生虫病，如疟疾、利什曼病、钩虫病、绦虫病，在东南地中海地区非常普遍，感染了约十亿人，并且主要表现为贫血，因此通常由经验丰富的血液病学家通过血液或骨髓涂片进行诊断。另一方面，感染也是血液恶性肿瘤患者的一个重大问题。血液是HIV感染的主要传播途径，否则会表现为与T淋巴细胞减少相关的症状。反过来，感染也可能有利于血液恶性肿瘤的侵袭。爱泼斯坦-巴病毒感染、幽门螺杆菌、丙型肝炎病毒、HIV与淋巴增殖性疾病之间的致病关系是众所周知的。
