Human T Lymphotropic virus-1 associated gastrointestinal histoplasmosis in Peru

Evaluating the frequency of HTLV-Ι/Π infection among blood donors, major thalassemic patients and individuals infected with hepatitis B and C viruses in Isfahan, Iran

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...

A probable association between HTLV-1 and endemic mycosis in Latin America.

We have read with interest the case report of severe gastrointestinal histoplasmosis in a patient infected with Human T lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV1) by Canelo Aybar and colleagues [1]. In this case report, a possible link between these entities is suggested, but no conclusive evidence of a true association is provided. HTLV-1 causes clinical manifestations by three main mechanisms: autoimmune p...

Effects of Danazol on Clinical Improvement of Patients with Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus Type I Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP ): A Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

Polymorphism in the interleukin-10 promoter affects both provirus load and the risk of human t lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis

To investigate candidate genes that influence the risk of HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), we analyzed 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter region. METHODS: 280 cases of HAM/TSP patients and 255 HTLV-I seropositive asymptomatic carriers (HCs) from Kagoshima, Japan were studied. All subjects gave written informed conse...
