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

## Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) carriers often have abnormal lymphocytes (Ably) that resemble malignant cells of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). To identify predictors of the level of Ably in a longitudinal study of asymptomatic HTLV-I carriers, we analyzed data from 215 subjects (67 me
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-Iassociated myelopathy (TSP/HAM). Other inflammatory disorders may occur in HTLV-Iinfected patients, such as sicca syndrome resembling Sjo Β¨gren's syndrome. The sicca
