A mediastinoscopy with biopsy showed HL (mixed cellularity type) with positive CD30 and CD15, weakly positive PAX-5, and a negative leukocyte common antigen (LCA). differentiation assay should undergo nucleic acid testing.

It BMS-509744 is speculated that this might be due to coincidental cross-reaction of subtypes of polyclonal gamma globulin with the HIV p24 antigen.
