Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 is associated with some neurologic diseases, mainly human T lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. Human T lymphotropic virus type 2 has also been associated with similar cases of human T lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis, but evidences for a definitive relationship are less clear...

Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses type 1 and 2 are retroviruses that share the same routes of transmission as HIV-1. Since these agents are prevalent simultaneously in different parts of the world, coinfection is a frequently reported event. However, prevalence rates of coinfection differ for distinct populations and regions of the world or for each virus, with human T-cell lymphotropic virus t...

background and aims: human t-lymphotropic virus (htlv) is a human retrovirus which has been known to cause adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma and some other inflammatory disorders. patients with hereditary bleeding diseases are at high risk for these viruses. in this study, we evaluated serological htlv-i/ii infection among these patients in west azerbaijan of iran. material and methods: we studied...
