Involvement of the nervous system by the human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) was demonstrated in the tropics and Japan in two chronic neurological disorders, tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) {l] and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM) {2]. HAM and HTLV-I-positive TSP are recognized as clinic

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1)-associated tropical spastic paraparesis in Martinique has been identified in 54 patients, 49 women and 5 men. This myelopathy represents an endemic problem on this island and the earliest documented case dates from 1952. A blood transfusion history was obta
A possible causal association between infective dermatitis and HTLV-I infection was reported in 1990 and confirmed in 1992. We now report familial infective dermatitis (ID) occurring in a 26-year-old mother and her 9-year-old son. The mother was first diagnosed with ID in 1969 at the age of 2 years
## Abstract The oncoprotein Tax was characterized genetically from a large cohort of human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) seropositive individuals from the most endemic region of HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and HTLV‐1 infection in Argentina, the pr
## Abstract The human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) is the etiological agent of HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a progressive disease causing paraparesis of the lower limbs. Only a minority of persons infected with HTLV‐1 develop HAM/TSP. Universal s
