CD4(+) T cells are critical for inducing and maintaining efficient humoral and cellular immune responses to pathogens. The CD4(+) T-cell response in human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) infection has not been studied in detail. However, CD4(+) T cells have been shown to predominate in early lesions in HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). We present direct estima...
This review focuses on current approaches to understanding the immunopathogenesis of human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) based on newly developed molecular and immunologic techniques that have been adapted to studies of HTLV-I proviral load, HTLV-I mRNA, and HTLV-I tax-specific CD8 T cells. These methods enable researchers t...
Acute aortic syndrome complicated by both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and spinal ischemia is exceedingly rare. We herein report the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with paraparesis after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI. He was found to have an intramural hematoma of the ascending aorta and a severe dissection in the descending aorta, which led...
A 12-year-old boy presented with typical features of short incubation tetanus. Spastic paraparesis with a mid-thoracic sensory level was present from the time of the initial examination. X-rays of the spine and lumbar myelogram were normal. The paraparesis improved rapidly and within a month the patient was free of neurological deficit. The case is possibly a rare example of tetanus involving t...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus that causes a persistent infection, and only 0.5-5% of infected individuals will develop HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Therefore, we investigated parameters to discriminate HTLV-1 asymptomatic carriers (ACs) with an increased chance to develop HAM/TSP. METHODS We evaluated in...
This clinical case of intramedullary arachnoid cyst is the second reported in Senegal. It concerns a 50-yearold woman, with no particular history, admitted for back pain associated intermittent spinal claudication. The physical examination showed dorsal syndrome, spastic paraparesis, hypoesthesis under T9 sensitive territory bilateral Babinski sign. Cutaneous-abdominal reflexes were abolished a...
Forest fragmentation and selective logging are two main drivers of global environmental change and modify biodiversity and environmental conditions in many tropical forests. The consequences of these changes for the functioning of tropical forest ecosystems have rarely been explored in a comprehensive approach. In a Kenyan rainforest, we studied six animal-mediated ecosystem processes and recor...
Background and Aim: Portosystemic myelopathy (PSM) is a rare complication in patients with portosystemic shunts, manifesting as pure motor spastic paraparesis. Case Report: We present case of PSM patient non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH). A 55-year-old female presented difficulty walking followed by progressive stiffness both lower limbs for 6 months. There was no involvement upper limbs...
Acute transverse myelitis (TM) is an inflammatory disease that manifests with motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms of rapid progression catastrophic outcomes; the three main causes acute TM are demyelinating diseases, infections, autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). one 19 neuropsychiatric associated SLE according to American College Rheumatology (ACR) has been desc...
