HTLV-1 and Co-infections [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2022
HTLV-1 is a retrovirus that causes lifelong T-cell infection in humans, impacting the host immune response. This virus causes a range of clinical manifestations, from inflammatory conditions, including neuronal damage (HTLV-1 associated myelopathy, HAM ...

HTLV-I and HTLV-II infections among HIV-1 seropositive patients in Sao Paulo, Brazil

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Epidemiology, 1994
To estimate the presence of, and the risk factors for HTLV-I and HTLV-II infections among HIV-1 infected subjects in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a serosurvey was performed in 471 HIV-1 infected patients, including 216 intravenous drug addicts (IVDA), 229 ...

Dynamic Scenario in HTLV-I Infection

Journal of Applied Nonlinear Dynamics, 2020
Summary: In this article we present a model that describes the emerging dynamic scenario of infection with the human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I). In this model we incorporate the phase of latency in the infection of the CD4+ lymphocytes, the immune response mediated by CD8+ T lymphocytes and the possible appearance of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL).

ALS syndrome in HTLV-I infection

Neurology, 2005
Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus (HTLV)-I causes tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-I associated myelopathy (HAM/TSP) and may have other neurologic manifestations such as isolated peripheral neuropathy.1 An HTLV-I-associated ALS-like syndrome (ALS-S) has been rarely reported.2 We now describe the features of ALS-S in a cohort of HTLV-I infected ...

The epidemiology of HTLV-I infection

Cancer Causes & Control, 1991
It has been 10 years since the discovery of the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), the first human retrovirus. During the past decade, significant progress has been made in understanding the transmission of the virus and defining its geographic distribution. It has been shown conclusively that HTLV-I is a causal factor in the induction of

Evidence of HTLV-I Infection in Singapore Prostitutes

International Journal of STD & AIDS, 1991
Sera obtained in 1987 from 63 male and 632 female Singapore prostitutes were screened for antibody to human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV)-I with a particle agglutination test. Of the 3 males and 4 females who were positive one had antibody to HTLV-I core and envelope antigen on Western Blot.

Telomerase regulation in HTLV-I infection

Blood, 2008
In this issue of Blood , Bellon and Nicot describe an elegant mechanism used by HTLV-I to up-regulate telomerase gene expression and function in the absence of the viral tax oncoprotein. Adult T-cell leukemia was first reported as an entity in Blood in 1977.[1][1] Three years later, Gallo et ...

Retrovirus infections in a sample of injecting drug users in Rio de Janeiro City, Brazil: prevalence of HIV-1 subtypes, and co-infection with HTLV-I/II

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Virology, 2001
BACKGROUND: Retrovirus infections among injecting drug users (IDUs), a core at-risk population for both HIV-1 and HTLV-I/II infections in Brazil, were assessed within an ongoing cooperative research.

Possible association of HTLV-I infection and dementia

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009
We report a Swedish patient with progressive dementia possibly associated with human T cell-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection. The clinical investigation revealed no typical sings of other neurological disorders. The patient was probably infected in East-Asia 35 years before onset of the disease.
