Risk Factors
Risk factors for follicular lymphoma include[1][2]:
- Viruses:
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
- Human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I,
- Herpesvirus associated with Kaposi sarcoma (ie, human herpesvirus [HHV]-8 )
- Hepatitis B and C viruses
- Chemicals:
- Defoliants (eg, Agent Orange)
- Hair dyes
- Immunodeficiency states:
- Congenital immunodeficiencies
- Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Most lymphomas associated with HIV are intermediate-grade or high-grade lymphomas.
- Patients who have been on immunosuppressant drugs after organ transplantation. Most of these lymphomas are diffuse or high-grade lymphomas.
