متن کاملHTLV-I associated uveitis in central Japan.
AIMS/BACKGROUND Recently HTLV-I has been shown to cause a kind of endogenous uveitis in south west Japan, where HTLV-I infection is highly endemic.

In the comparison, 32 (41.0%) of 78 patients with ae...
متن کاملChronic dacryosialadenitis in HTLV I associated myelopathy.
A prospective study was carried out on 48 patients with HTLV I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) to assess the association between this entity and Sjögren's syndrome. Fourteen patients (29.1%) had chronic dacryosialadenitis confirmed by a positive Schirmer's test and salivary gland biopsy. None of these patients had evidence of collagen disease and tests for Ro, La, a...
متن کاملHuman T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) and tropical spastic paraparesis or HTLV-I-associated myelopathy in Hawaii.

It is associated with HTLV-I infection and found primarily in the Caribbean region and in southwestern Japan. Five cases of tropical spastic paraparesis (or HTLV-I-associated myelopathy) in Hawaii...
