Polyclonal T-cell expansions in a HIV(+) patient with atypical cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder, large granular lymphocyte proliferation and SENV infection.

Abstract: Lesional and peripheral lymphocytes of a HIV + patient who, at a one-year interval, exhibited an atypical cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder and an expansion of large granular lymphocytes, showed predominant expression of polyclonal or slightly oligoclonal TCRBV2 chain. Circulating SENV-A and SENV-H, two strains of a recently identified blood-borne DNA virus, were detected, respectively, at the time the skin lesion manifested and LGL proliferation.
