## Abstract Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I) is the etiologic agent of HTLV‐I‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). High HTLV‐I provirus load and __tax__ mRNA level have been suggested as predictors of disease progression in patients with HAM/TSP, but little i
## Abstract In a study of 7498 American men of Japanese ancestry in Hawaii, 26 incident cases of leukemia or non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma were identified after a follow‐up period of 19 years. Two of the cases, who were brothers, were diagnosed with adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). Both of these brot
## Abstract There is no effective therapy for human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I)‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Glucocorticoids are effective to reduce the motor disability in these patients, but its role as anti‐spastic drugs is unknown. Here it is repor
The serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA-sulfate (DHEA-S) were determined by radioimmunoassay in 38 patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Levels of serum DHEA and DHEA-S were also measured in 60 human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) carriers, and did not differ from those
A 65-year-old man presented with a sensorimotor polyneuropathy associated with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody to various gangliosides. Electrophysiological studies denoted significant abnormalities of motor and sensory nerve conduction. Although the pat
