HTLV-II and Bacterial Infections Among Injection Drug Users

JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2000
To examine whether select bacterial infections are associated with HTLV-II infection among injection drug users, we conducted a nested case control study within an ongoing cohort study.HTLV-II status was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescent assay, and immunoblot.

Protection of rabbits against HTLV-II infection with a synthetic peptide corresponding to HTLV-II neutralization region

Archives of Virology, 1996
Rabbit immune sera raised against synthetic peptides of the HTLV-II envelope gp46 region were examined for HTLV-II neutralization ability by HTLV-vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotype assay and syncytium inhibition assay. HTLV-II neutralization activity was detected in the sera against HTLV-II Env gp46, 80-103 but not in those to HTLV-II Env gp46,

Large Granular Lymphocytosis in a Patient Infected with HTLV-II

AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 1993
HTLV-II has been associated with a variety of lymphoproliferative disorders, including atypical hairy cell leukemia, chronic T cell leukemia, T prolymphocytic leukemia, and large granular lymphocytic leukemia. However, a direct or indirect role for HTLV-II in these disorders is not yet firmly established.

Laboratory Test Differences Associated With HTLV-I and HTLV-II Infection

Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes and Human Retrovirology, 1998
Reports of laboratory abnormalities associated with HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection are inconsistent. We assessed complete blood counts and selected serum chemistry measures at enrollment in a cohort of 153 HTLV-I-seropositive, 386 HTLV-II-seropositive, and 795 HTLV-seronegative blood donors.

Lack of HTLV-II infection in newborns born from HIV-1 infected mothers in Southern Italy

European Journal of Epidemiology, 1997
In order to evaluate the presence of HTLV-II infection in a cohort of newborns born from HIV-1 infected mothers, a retrospective study was conducted on 80 newborns. Only 1 birth serum sample (1.25%) was found seropositive for HTLV-II by Western Blot suggesting a transplacental transmission of anti-HTLV-II antibodies.

Other Human Retrovirus Infections: HTLV-I and HTLV-II

1992
The first human retrovirus described, human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I), is considered the cause of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.1 More recently, the virus has been etiologically associated with tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP).2 This chronic neurodegenerative disorder is clinicopathologically identical to HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM)

Alteration of T-Cell Functions by Infection with HTLV-I or HTLV-II

Science, 1984
Two functionally different types of human T-cell clones, one with helper function and two with specific cytotoxic activity, were infected with different isolates of HTLV-I and HLTV-II. Both types of human T cells showed alterations in specific function after infection with either of the HTLV subgroups.

Seroprevalence of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection among immigrants in northern Italy

European Journal of Epidemiology, 2003
To assess the prevalence of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) and 2 (HTLV-II) infection and the associated risk factors among immigrants living in Northern Italy, we surveyed 3017 open-population subjects from three geographical areas and 371 prisoners.

HTLV‐II infection associated with a chronic neurodegenerative disease: Clinical and molecular analysis

Journal of Medical Virology, 2001
AbstractHTLV II is a retrovirus endemic in some Amerindian tribes and spread worldwide with a high prevalence among intravenous drug abusers. It has three different genetic subtypes a, b, and d, defined mainly by the long terminal repeat (LTR) region. HTLV II has been associated with a neurodegenerative disease in few cases.

[Multicenter study of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection in Spain. Spanish Group for the Study of HTLV-II/II Infection].

Medicina clinica, 1993
Human T-lymphotropic viruses type I (HTLV-I) and type II (HTLV-II) infections have been related to lymphoproliferative disorders and subacute neurological diseases. Screening blood donors for specific HTLV-I/II antibody has been implemented in Japan, United States, and recently in France.
