discussion bladder over-distention and spontaneous bladder rupture, although very rare in ham/tsp, should be considered in a differential diagnosis of bladder rupture, especially in patients with a history of htlv1. introduction spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare manifestation of hyporeflexic bladder due to ham/tsp( human t-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (htlv1) associated myelopathy/tropica...

Résumé La leucémie/lymphome à cellules T de l'adulte est une prolifération tumorale de cellules lymphoïdes T matures activées, dont l'agent étiologique est le rétrovirus humain T cell-leukemia virus type 1, ce virus entraine rarement des désordres inflammatoires bronchioloalveolaires. Nous rapportons l'observation d'un patient hospitalisé pour une pneumopathie interstitielle diffuse et dont le ...

Type 1 and type 2 human T-cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV1 and HTLV2) were the first retroviruses described, in 1979 and 1981, respectively [1]. HTLV1 and 2 viruses share 60% of their genomes [2]. Despite the fact that most individuals infected by these viruses remain asymptomatic throughout life, it is known that these agents are responsible for clinical neoplastic, inflammatory or degenerativ...

Retroviruses are commonly associated with neurological disease in animals, for example, inflammatory encephalomyelopathies of sheep (visna virus),' horses (equine infectious anaemia virus), goats (caprine encephalitis/arthritis virus)2 and mice (murine leukaemia virus).3 The first retrovirus shown to be pathogenic in humans was discovered by Gallo's group4 who demonstrated that human lymphotrop...

BACKGROUND Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a generalized transport defect in the proximal renal tubule leading to renal losses of phosphate, calcium, uric acid, bicarbonates as well as glucose, amino acids and other organic compounds. It is caused by inherited or acquired disorders including low mass or high mass multiple myeloma. OBJECTIVES To report the first case series of patients with lymphoma ...

Background: Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses 1 (HTLV1) is endemic in specific regions. We aimed to determine the prevalence of HTLV I infection among blood donors in southeast Iran.   Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2005 and March 2015. Sera were collected from blood donors and were tested for the presence of HTLV1 specific antibody using ELISA. Reactive sample...
