Abstract:

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, Mycobacterium tuberculosis,HTLV and were collected from Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran, Iran. 100 cases were investigated (58% males, 42% females), the age of these samples were within 5 to 89 years old.In 65.7 percent of the leukemia rate HTLV-1 has been positive. Five cases (54%) were myeloid leukemia, 36.4% cases were not myeloid leukemia and 3 out of 8 cases (27.9%) unclassified lymphomas, were positive respectively. All 6 cases (100%) were adults with acute T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis were positive. Among all cases, just one case has been positive for chronic myeloid leukemia and myeloproliferative disruption. Positive HTLV-1- show more in older ages than younger one. At younger ages offers less than negative items. According to our results, in Iran HTLV-1, 2 is dramatically related to myeloid leukemia, and more studies are required for accurate connection with myeloma diseases and this area.

Tuberculosis and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infection.

SIRIn a recent review of the infectious complications of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection, Marsh [1] suggested that those individuals infected with HTLV-I may be at increased risk of tuberculosis. This risk may be due to reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity to PPD in asymptomatic patients infected with HTLV-l. Up to 14% of the population in Papua New Guinea are infecte...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I) Oncogenesis: Molecular Aspects of Virus and Host Interactions in Pathogenesis of Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATL)

    The study of tumor viruses paves the way for understanding the mechanisms of virus pathogenesis, including those involved in establishing infection and dissemination in the host tumor affecting immune-compromised patients. The processes ranging from viral infection to progressing malignancy are slow and usually insufficient for establishment of transformed cells that develop cancer in only ...

Bovine leukemia virus protease: comparison with human T-lymphotropic virus and human immunodeficiency virus proteases.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a valuable model system for understanding human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1); the availability of an infectious BLV clone, together with animal-model systems, will help to explore anti-HTLV-1 strategies. Nevertheless, the specificity and inhibitor sensitivity of the BLV protease (PR) have not been characterized in detail. To facilitate such studies, a molecular...
