  • Title: Infection with the human T-lymphotropic virus type I. A review for clinicians.
    Author: Dixon AC, Dixon PS, Nakamura JM.
    Journal: West J Med; 1989 Dec; 151(6):632-7. PubMed ID: 2694620.
    Abstract:
    The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is the first retrovirus identified in humans. It has been responsible for a number of clinical syndromes, most notably adult T-cell leukemia or lymphoma and tropical spastic paraparesis. In the United States, infection with this virus is most frequently found in specific subsets of our population, particularly in those who live in the southeastern states, have southern Japanese ancestry, or share intravenous drug paraphernalia. Understanding the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of this virus is necessary to properly diagnose and care for patients with HTLV-I infection.
