Molecular Evidence of Human T‑Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Transmission by Needlestick Injury in Healthcare Workers. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT Human T‑cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‑1) is a retrovirus that spreads primarily through cell‐to‐cell transmission. Occupational transmission of HTLV‐1 by needlestick injury is considered exceedingly rare, with no reported molecularly confirmed cases.
