  • Title: HTLV-I-like viral particles in spinal cord cells in Jamaican tropical spastic paraparesis.
    Author: Liberski PP, Rodgers-Johnson P, Char G, Piccardo P, Gibbs CJ, Gajdusek DC.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 1988; 23 Suppl():S185-7. PubMed ID: 2831798.
    Abstract:
    Viral-like particles morphologically identical to human T-lymphotropic virus type I or II, but distinct from human T-lymphotropic virus type III, have been seen by electron microscopy in spinal cord tissue from a Jamaican tropical spastic paraparesis patient who was known to be positive for human T-lymphotropic virus I antibody before death. This is the first electron microscopy report on a patient from an endemic tropical spastic paraparesis region.
