## Abstract Peripheral nerve dysfunction (PND) was found in as many as 43% of our patients with human Tβcell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLVβI)βassociated myelopathy (HAM/TSP). To evaluate the PND further we biopsied the sural nerve in 6 patients. The histological features were varying degrees of d
## Abstract The level of proviral DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a representative group of asymptomatic HTLVβI carriers in Miyazaki district, an HTLVβI endemic area in Japan, was determined by a singleβcycle polymerase chain reaction method (PCR). Of 217 subjects, 26% had a high lev
To estimate the replication of the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) in patients with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM), or tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP), HTLV-I DNA integrated into lymphocyte genomes was analyzed by Southern blot hybridization. HTLV-I DNA was detected in 125 (82%) o
