Contribution of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation for the Diagnosis of HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a low-cost and safe examination for testing the vestibulospinal pathway. Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a slowly progressive disease that affects the vestibulospinal tract early in its course. This study compared the electromyographic (EMG) responses triggered b...
متن کاملHTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis with pseudohypoparathyroidism.
In many short-stature patients with human T-lymphotrophic virus type I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), signs and symptoms were manifested during childhood. Successive investigations revealed 12 of 14 short-stature patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) from the findings of short metacarpi, parathyroid hormone infusion test, immunoblotting of erythrocyte membr...
متن کاملThe Impact of Immune Response on HTLV-I in HTLV-I-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP)
Human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus which is associated with adult T cells leukaemia (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in a minority of HTLV-I-infected individuals. It is not clear why a minority of HTLV-I-infected individuals develop HAM/TSP and majority remains lifelong carriers. It seems that the interaction between the v...
متن کامل[HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP)].
Human T lymphotropic virus type I(HTLV-I) is associated with the nonfatal neurologic disease, HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Many clinical signs of involvement outside the central nervous system (CNS) have been described in some patients with HAM/TSP and have triggered the discovery of some HTLV-I-associated concepts in the infected individuals without sign...
متن کاملP 130: The Role of Host T- Cell Lymphocyte in Immunopathogenesis of HTLV-I-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Only a limited percentage of infected individuals develop disease in response to the virus while the majority remain asymptomatic and HAM/TSP is the most common clinical manifestation of the virus. HAM/TSP is an inflamma...
