MRI contributes to the differentiation between MS and HTLV-I associated myelopathy in British Columbian coastal natives.
BACKGROUND Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in British Columbian Coastal Natives has, to date, been a clinical and laboratory diagnosis. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities have been well-described in other populations in which HAM/TSP is endemic. METHODS In order to assess the usefulness of MRI as...
متن کاملClinical and laboratory features of HTLV-I asymptomatic carriers and patients with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis from the Brazilian Amazon
Clinical and laboratory parameters including blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neopterin were investigated in human-T-lymphotropic-virus-type-I associated-myelopathy/tropical-spastic-paraparesis-HAM/TSP and in HTLV-I carriers. HAM/TSP (n = 11, 2 males/9 females, median age = 48 years), recently diagnosed HTLV-I carriers (n = 21, 15 females/6 males, median age = 44 years), healthy individuals ...
متن کامل[Brain and spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging in spastic paraparesis associated to human T-lymphotropic virus].
BACKGROUND The spastic paraparesis associated to HTLV-1 causes degenerative pyramidal tract lesions of the spinal cord and affects cortical-nuclear connections in the brain. AIM To report the findings of magnetic resonance imaging in patients with spastic paraparesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord was performed in 30 patients (24 females), me...
متن کاملSpinal cord anteroposterior atrophy in HAM/TSP: Magnetic resonance imaging and neuropathological analyses
To evaluate the spinal cord atrophy that occurs in HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), we conducted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathological analyses. In the MRI study, 15 patients with HAM/TSP and 20 age-matched normal control subjects were enrolled. Anteroposterior and transverse distances and cross-sectional areas were measured and calculated at the ...
متن کاملInflammation inducing central nervous system damage in HTLV-1 infection
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is involved with two well-described clinical conditions: HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/ tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T cell leukemia. The neurological disease affects predominantly the spinal cord. Although unusual, the brain as well as other organs may be involved by inflammatory reaction associated with HTLV-1 infection. This ...
