Following these results it is expected that there should be a higher incidence of lymphomas in countries with higher incidences of infection. Rates of infection reach nearly 100% among people with MALT lymphomas and range between 50% and 60% among people with lymphomas which have progressed to diffuse large B-cell lymphomas DLBCL.
Por lo tanto, es esperable que haya una mayor incidencia de linfoma en países con mayor prevalencia de la infección, llegando a ser cercana al 100% en los linfomas MALT y entre el 50 y 60% en los linfomas que han progresado a linfoma B difuso de célula grande LBDCG.
