Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is known as the causative agent for adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). This same virus was found to be related to another human disease, a progressive spastic paraparesis, found independently in two areas of the world, the Caribbean basin and Japan.

HTLV-II Among Injecting Drug Users in Stockholm
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1994134 injecting drug users (IDUs) treated at the Department of Infectious Diseases of Roslagstull Hospital, Stockholm, were tested for antibodies to human T-lymphotropic virus, types I and II, by means of 2 HTLV-I/-II peptide-based enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), followed by a whole-virus EIA.

Chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with HTLV-II infection
The Lancet, 1992Although human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) type I is known to cause a number of diseases, there has been no convincing evidence of pathological changes after infection with the related virus, HTLV-II. We have found an endemic focus of HTLV-II infection among members of an American Indian population in New Mexico, USA.

HTLV-II among Italian intravenous drug users and hemophiliacs
European Journal of Epidemiology, 1992The seroprevalence of HTLV-I/II was evaluated in 1247 Italian individuals at high risk for HIV infection. The population studied consisted of 985 intravenous drug users (IVDUs), 474 of whom on methadone maintenance and 511 in a therapeutic community, 110 HIV-infected patients in various stages of HIV-related disease and 152 hemophiliacs.

HTLV-II transmission to a health care worker
American Journal of Infection Control, 2006Health care workers, mainly in emergency and forensic services, are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I and type II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) are cosmopolitan human delta retroviruses causing endemic infection in Japan, the Caribbean basin, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa, and in clusters among ...

Human Retroviruses: HTLV-I and HTLV-II
1993Human T-cell leukemia viruses, type I (HTLV-I) and type II (HTLV-II), have been extensively investigated during the past decade. In 1977 Takatsuki and his colleagues first identified adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) as a disease entity characterized by pleomorphic leukemia/lymphoma cells with deformed nuclei and the clustering of patients to southwest Japan

HTLV genomic and antigenic features, replication way as well as associated pathology are recalled herein. The epidemiologic angle and the different transmission ways are also related. HTLV infection diagnostic implements are detailed: screening and specially confirmatory tests are brought to light with the help of concrete examples interpreted ...
