Infections that causes lymphoma indirectly by the immune system that is over stimulating include:
•hepatitis C virus (HCV), which people with marginal zone lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma develop.
•Helicobacter pylori, this is a bacteria that causes stomach ulcers and inflammation and this is found in people with gastric MALT lymphoma.
•Chlamydia psittaci, this is linked with people who have MALT lymphoma in the tear gland and around the eye.
•Campylobacter jejuni, this is linked with people who have MALT lymphoma in the bowel.
•Borrelia burgdorferi, this causes Lyme disease and can be linked with MALT lymphoma in the skin.
However lymphoma is not infectious and therefore you can not catch or spread it.

As lymphatic system is part of the immune system, clear fluid known as the lymph flows in the lymphatic vessels and they contain the infection fighting white blood cells called the lymphocytes.There are different types of Hodgkin lymphoma and they include nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte-rich and lymphocyte-depleted.
The lymphocytes always divides to make new lymphocytes. When fighting an infection, lots of new lymphocytes are made very quickly, but only those that are very specific for the target infection are useful to the immune system and the other lymphocytes will usually die, which means only useful lymphocytes survive. Lymphomas occurs when there is a breakdown of this function of the lymphatic system, instead of the unwanted lymphocytes dying they start to divide in an uncontrolled
