Abstract Thirty-eight children with Hodgkin’s disease have been treated over the past 8 yr with either intensive radiotherapy or combination chemotherapy (MOPP), depending on their initial stage. The median survival of the entire group of children has not yet been reached, as 63% are still alive, but it will be in excess of 58 mo. Median survivals by stage are as follows: stage I, greater than 46 mo; stage II, greater than 46 mo; stage III, 35 mo; and stage IV, 26.7 mo. Although the numbers of children are small, these results appear significantly superior to published reports utilizing less intensive radiotherapy and single-agent chemotherapy and suggest that intensive radiotherapy for localized disease and combination chemotherapy for advanced disease may, at present, be the preferred forms of therapy for Hodgkin’s disease in childhood.

The reported case presents a 15-year-old boy diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease (Hodgkin’s disease, HL) after about 2 months of outpatient care in primary health care (POZ). The patient was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease in 3rd stage, which significantly reduces the chances of complete recovery from the initial stage of diagnosis. Symptoms reported by the boy, such as cough, subfebrile states, decreased well-being, itchy rash, if present alone, are not pathognomonic for any disease, however, occurring simultaneously with characteristic abnormalities in the scope of physical examination, may help in faster diagnosis and initiation of proper treatment. This is especially important in times of pandemic, when most medical advice is provided by phone. A medical and environmental interview should be carried out with particular care and attention, and a physical examination should be made faster, so as not to overlook a disease that is dangerous and may endanger the patient’s health and life.
