Human T Lymphotropic Virus and Pulmonary Diseases

High proviral load of human T cell lymphotropic virus type-1 facilitates coronary artery diseases

Objective(s): Coronary artery disease (CAD) is known as a life threatening disease, worldwide. In this study the role of HTLV-1 infection was evaluated on cardiac involvement in an endemic region of northeastern Iran.Materials and Methods: Serologic and molecular tests for HTLV-1 infection were carried out in subjects who had coronary an...

Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus

Retroviruses can be classified according to the morphology of their virion core or according to sequence homologies that become evident after phylogenetic analyses. Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a member of the deltatype retrovirus group, other members of which include HTLV types 2, 3 and 4, bovine leukaemia virus (BLV), and simian T-cell leukaemia virus (STLV) types 1, 2 and 3 ...

Study of the Association Between Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus Type I Infection and Lichen Planus

Relationship between the human T- lymphotropic virus and myeloid leukemia, mycobacterium tuberculosis

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 , 2 (HTLV-1, 2) is endemic in Particular Areas of the world in which it is associated with myeloid leukemia.In this study, we described the prevalence of HTLV-1, 2 in myeloid leukemia and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Iran. We have worked with tissue and blood samples for 2 years. These were the same samples which were positive for myeloid leukemia, Mycoba...
