HTLV‐I Uveitis: A Distinct Clinical Entity Caused by HTLV‐I [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Cancer Research, 1992 Seroepidemiological, clinical and virological studies were carried out in an HTLV‐I endemic area to find out if HTLV‐I caused an intraocular inflammatory disorder, uveitis. The seroprevalence in patients with uveitis without defined etiologies (62/175, 35.4%) was significantly higher than that in patients with non‐uveitic ocular diseases (42/261, 16.1%)
