- sex. Slightly more men than women suffer from Hodgkin’s disease;
- Infecție cu virus d'Epstein-Barr (infectious mononucleosis). People who have contracted the virus in the past are said to have a higher risk of developing the disease;
- Immune failure. Patients with HIV or who have had a transplant and are taking anti-rejection drugs appear to be at higher risk than average.
