A Case of Undiagnosed HIV Infection in a 57-Year-Old Woman with Multiple Myeloma: Consequences on Chemotherapy Efficiency and Safety by I. Poizot-Martin, S. Brégigeon, C. Tamalet, R. Bouabdallah, O. Zaegel-Faucher, V. Obry-Roguet, A. Ivanova, C.E. Cano, C. Solas

“…A 57-year-old woman diagnosed with multiple myeloma underwent a first round of chemotherapy by bortezomib/lenalidomide and then with bortezomib/liposomal-doxorubicine/dexamethasone, with partial remission, poor hematological tolerance, and multiple episodes of pneumococcal infection. Allogenic stem cell transplantation was proposed leading to HIV testing, which revealed seropositivity, with an HIV viral load of 5.5 Log10/mL and severe CD4 T cell depletion (24 cells/mm3). …”
