## Abstract The natural history of human Tβlymphotropic virus type I (HTLVβI) has been shown to differ markedly by geographic area. The differences include contrasting patterns of risk of adult Tβcell lymphoma (ATL) and HTLVβIβassociated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), which may
## Objective. To clarify the involvement of human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in the pathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS). Methods. In HTLV-I-seropositive patients with SS, HTLV-I proviral DNA in the labial salivary glands (SG) was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplificat
