Yes, people with Hodgkin lymphoma can experience more frequent and severe infections, including sinus infections. This happens because Hodgkin lymphoma affects the B cells of your immune system, making them less effective at defending your body against infections.

The immune system problems are a key feature of Hodgkin lymphoma, as the B cells become dysfunctional and lose their ability to fight off infections effectively. Treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can further weaken your immune system, increasing your risk of infections. If you experience persistent sinus infections or other signs of infection, it's important to alert your healthcare team, as infections can become serious complications requiring prompt treatment.
