Popis: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly aggressive B-lymphocyte-derived malignant proliferative disease that is currently one of the leading causes of death in HIV patients. The incidence of lymphoma in HIV patients is 60–200 times higher than in the general population compared to the non-HIV population, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can cause numerous disease manifestations, especially in severely immunocompromised individuals. We treated a case of HIV-associated splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma combined with hepatitis C and tuberculous meningitis. In this case, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the spleen was difficult to diagnose. Second, simultaneous treatment of multiple diseases requires consideration of drug interactions. Our case highlights the diagnostic value of early tissue biopsy and the importance of avoiding drug interactions during treatment, and the selection of appropriate CART, anti-hepatitis C, and anti-tuberculosis protocols to reduce mortality from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma comorbidification.
