✦ Synopsis

The prevalence of antibodies to HTLV-I and HIV-I in Brazil was determined by testing sera from: (a) I19 members of an isolated Amazonian community of African origin; (b) 100 voluntary blood donors in Rio de Janeiro; (c) 215 patients treated at the Hematology Service, National Cancer Institute, Rio de Janeiro, and (d) 44 Cebus apella New World monkeys, wildcaught in Amazonia. Anti-HTLV-l was detected in I (0.84%) of I19 Amazonians, in 8 (3.72%) of the 215 patients and in none of the blood donors or monkeys. The high prevalence found in patients included 4 (5.79%) of 69 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 2 (5.88%) of 34 with Hodgkin lymphoma, I (I 6.66%) of 6 patients with diagnosis of anemia and I (20%) of 5 with HIV-I infection. Anti-HIV-l was found in 7 (14.89%) of 47 patients and in none of the other groups. The high incidence of HTLV-I infection in the patient group suggests that this retrovirus is endemic in parts of Brazil.
