Short Communication The relationship between atopy and neurological manifestations in HTLV-1 infection

High HTLV-1 proviral load, a marker for HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis, is also detected in patients with infective dermatitis associated with

Demographic data, respiratory clinical manifestations and skin prick test in female patients with concomitant atopy and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1

HTLV-1 is the causal agent of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a disease observed in up to 5% of individuals infected with HTLV-1.. However,

The present study revealed pigmented keratic precipitates in 11.8% of the patients with TSP/HAM and in none of the HTLV-I seropositive patients without TSP/ HAM or ATLL;

This study confirmed, for the first time, HTLV-1 infection and the absence of HTLV-2 infection in blood donors from Arequipa, Peru and suggests vertical transmission as the

This study describes clinical and laboratory parameters which include serum and CSF neopterin measurements in HAM/TSP patients and in asymptomatic anti HTLV-I positive carriers

HLA haplotypes associated with HTLV-1 are commonly found in the known HTLV-1 endemic Indian and Japanese populations, whereas the haplotypes associated with HTLV-2 are

In the present study we evaluated the prevalence of coinfection and phylogenetic relationship of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 strains isolated from HIV-1 patients, in order to monitor
