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.

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.

Type-specific antigens for serological discrimination of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection

The Lancet, 1990
55 HTLV-I (human T-cell lymphotropic virus) and 45 HTLV-II carriers, confirmed by HTLV-type specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), were distinguished by western blot assays with recombinant HTLV I or II envelope glycoproteins. Recombinant protein (RP) B1 contains aminoacids 166-201 from HTLV-I exterior glycoprotein gp46 and was reactive with HTLV-I ...

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.

Diagnosis of infection with human T-lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) in Norwegian HIV-infected individuals

Clinical and Diagnostic Virology, 1993
Sera from 298 HIV-infected individuals from Southern Norway were examined for antibodies against HTLV. 30 sera (10.1%) were HTLV-II positive and 1(0.3%) HTLV-I positive. 25 of the HTLV-II infected subjects were intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs), giving a prevalence of HTLV-II infection of 24.5% in this group.
