✦ Synopsis

The human T-cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) has been isolated from aqueous humor in two patients with perivasculitis of the peripheral retinal vessels, an AIDS-related ocular manifestation. Both patients had antibodies to HTLV-III and although they presented with herpes zoster ophthalmicus, they did not present other symptoms known to be associated with HTLV-III infection. The isolation of HTLV-III from aqueous humor in these two patients with retinal perivasculitis suggests that the virus itself may play a role in the etiology of this ocular sign. The presence of infectious HTLV-III in the anterior chamber further emphasises the necessity to discard corneas from HTLV-III infected donors.

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is etiologically associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). We cloned and sequenced host DNA adjacent to the long terminal repeats of HTLV-I from uncultured leukemic cells of 4 ATL patients. The region flanking the provirus was generally A/Trich
