Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA were repeatedly assayed in peripheral blood leukocytes from 37 allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients by polymerase chain reaction. Before BMT, HHV-6 DNA was detected in 8 (22%) patients. HHV-7, EBV, and CMV DNA were detected in 21 (57%), 10 (27%), and 1 (3%) patient...

Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) infection has been associated with ATL and inflammatory diseases but remains a neglected health problem. HTLV-1 associated diseases were originally described as sporadic entities, but family aggregations have been reported. Viral, genetic, immunological and behavioral factors were used to explain family clusters, but until now a clear explanation remains un...

introduction: transfusion-transmitted infections (tti) continue to be a major challenge for blood transfusion organizations in the world and multi- transfused patients (mtps) are at higher risk of infection. htlv-1 is a retrovirus that easily transmitted via blood cell products. the aim of this study is determine the seroprevalence of htlv-1 in major thalassemic patients from kermanshah provinc...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) has been reported as the cause of a kind of endogenous uveitis (HTLV-I associated uveitis; HAU). We observed a case of episcleritis in a HTLV-I carrier with pigmentary retinal degeneration. HTLV-I infection might be associated with the development of episcleritis and pigmentary retinal degeneration. Patients with episcleritis or pigmentary retinal...

Four of six specific pathogen-free cats were infected after intravaginal exposure to molecularly cloned lymphotropic but non-Crandell feline kidney (CRFK)-tropic feline immunodeficiency virus strain TM2 and its AP-1 deletion mutant. The sequences of the env V3-to-V5 region which defines the CRFK tropism were unchanged in the infected cats through the infection. These data suggest that the strai...

The author identifies himself as a homosexual with antibodies to human T cell lymphotropic virus III (HTLV-III). He describes his reactions to learning that he might develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and to the counseling sessions which helped him cope. While he does not advocate compulsory testing of homosexuals for antibody to HTLV-III, he recommends voluntary participation pr...
