Background: The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I is the first retrovirus idenfied in humans. The virus has been associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, human T-lymphotropic virus type I, myelopathy/tropical spasc paraparesis, uveis, arthris, pulmonary lymphocyc alveolis, keratoconjuncvis sicca, and infecous dermas. Human T-lymphotropic virus type Iis endemic in Japan...

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...

background human t-cell lymphotropic virus types ι and ιι (htlv-ι and htlv-ii) are deltaretroviruses which may cause leukemia, lymphoma and htlv-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (ham/tsp). in addition, htlv-1 may be related to thalassemia and hemophilia cases after blood transfusion. objectives the aim of this study was evaluation of the prevalence of htlvs in patients with he...

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...

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...

B-cell infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been a controversial topic. To examine whether HCV has a genetically determined lymphotropism through a co-receptor specific for the infection by lymphotropic HCV, we established an infectious clone and chimeric virus of hepatotropic and lymphotropic HCV strains derived from an HCV-positive B-cell lymphoma. The viral envelope and 5'-UTR sequences ...
