discussion bladder over-distention and spontaneous bladder rupture, although very rare in ham/tsp, should be considered in a differential diagnosis of bladder rupture, especially in patients with a history of htlv1. introduction spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare manifestation of hyporeflexic bladder due to ham/tsp( human t-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (htlv1) associated myelopathy/tropica...

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...

objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the existence of human t-lymphotropic virus type 1 (htlv-1) in subgingival plaque of htlv-1 seropositive pa-tients. materials and methods: a total of 18 patients including 13 females and fivemales, with a mean age of 37 years participated in this descriptive study. half of them were htlv-1 carriers and the others were in htlv-1 associated myel...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 is endemic to central Australia among Indigenous Australians. However, virologic and clinical aspects of infection remain poorly understood. No attempt has been made to control transmission to indigenous children. We report 3 fatal cases of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 Australo-Melanesian subtype c.

OBJECTIVE(S) Lichen Planus is a common disease with unknown etiology which affects the skin and mucosa. Recent studies have focused on the possible role of the virus in the pathogenesis of Lichen Planus. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 and Lichen Planus. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case control study was conducted on...

Of 45 individuals seropositive for human T cell lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus, 45 were found to have detectable salivary antibodies to viral antigens by a radioimmunoprecipitation assay. The results also showed that a Western blot assay for salivary antibodies may be possible. The feasibility of a diagnostic test for human T cell lymphotropic virus type III/lympha...
