## Abstract The retroviruses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)β1/2 and human Tβcell leukemia virus (HTLV)βI/II share modes of transmission, suggesting that efforts to monitor the current HIVβ1 epidemic in Switzerland should be complemented by assessment of HTLVβI/II prevalence. This study presents

Adult T-cell leukernidlymphoma (ATL), a malignancy of mature CDCpositive lymphocytes, has been etiologically linked to the human retrovirus HTLV-I. Although a long latent period is suggested from migrant studies, little prospective information on the risk of developing ATL among persons with HTLV-I
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
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
Dear Sir, Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a malignancy of mature T cells which develops among individuals infected with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). ATL shows characteristic geographic distribution in the world, being endemic in south-western Japan, the Caribbean region,
