  • Title: Antibodies to the human T-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus type I in Dutch haemophiliacs.
    Author: Goudsmit J, Miedema F, Breederveld C, Terpstra F, Roos M, Schellekens P, Melief C.
    Journal: Vox Sang; 1986; 50(1):12-5. PubMed ID: 3006351.
    Abstract:
    95 Dutch haemophiliacs were tested for antibodies to membrane antigens on cells infected with human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I-MA) by indirect immunofluorescence and to purified HTLV-I by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antibodies to HTLV-I-MA were present in 8 of 95 (8%) haemophiliacs, but only 3 (3%) had antibodies to purified HTLV-I. No clinical disease was related to HTLV-I seropositivity. The importance of iatrogenic HTLV-I transmission to haemophiliacs is discussed.
