Abstract Background Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) is etiologically associated with the chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) Annexin A1 (AnxA1) an anti-inflammatory protein proposed neuroprotective and anti-neuroinflammatory functions. We hypothesized that ANXA1 gene expression may be dysregulated in HTLV-1-inf...


 Introducción: La paraparesia espástica es una infección causada por el virus linfotrópico de células T humanas (HTLV-1). Se caracteriza mielopatía lenta instauración que compromete principalmente los miembros inferiores. Afecta más a mujeres varones y las principales vías transmisión son: sanguínea, sexual vertical (principalmente durante la lactancia).
 Presentación del caso: Gesta...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T-lymphotropic I (HTLV-I) are two retroviruses that have a similar fashion of transmission via sharp objects contaminated by viruses, transplant surgery, transfusion, sexual relations. Simultaneous infections with HTLV-I HIV-1 usually occur in areas where both viruses become endemic. CD4+T cells the main targets HTLV-I, while can infect macr...

The lifelong infection with the human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has been associated a variety of clinical manifestations; one less-explored is HTLV-1-associated pulmonary disease. Imaging lung damage caused by HTLV-1 hyperinflammatory cascade can be similar to sequelae from TB infection. Our study aims describe lesions HTLV-1-positive patients without past or current active and evalu...

Abstract Backgrounds Therefore, reports on the risk of HTLV-1-related diseases in organ transplantation have increased recent years, and management HTLV renal remains a challenge. Patients methods We retrospectively analyzed four HTLV-1-positive recipients or donors among 89 cases from 2006 to 2021. Results Among recipients, two patients developed adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) derived at...

Os vírus linfotrópicos de células T humanas (HTLV) foram os primeiros retrovírus potencialmente oncogênicos a serem descobertos e isolados no mundo. Estima-se que 15 20 milhões pessoas estejam infectadas pelo vírus. Até atualidade, quatro variantes descobertas descritas: HTLV-1, 2, 3 4. Destas, apenas o HTLV-1 2 parecem estar distribuídos globalmente, possuindo relevância clínica epidemiológica...

The main mode of mother-to-child transmission the human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-1 is through breastfeeding. Although most reliable nutritional regimen to prevent HTLV-1 exclusive formula feeding, a recent meta-analysis revealed that short-term breastfeeding within 90 days does not increase risk infection. protocol Japanese Health, Labor, and Welfare Science Research Group primarily recomme...
