Increased All-Cause and Cancer Mortality in HTLV-II Infection [PDF]

JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2010
Human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I and HTLV-II cause chronic human retroviral infections, but few studies have examined the impact of either virus on survival among otherwise healthy individuals. The authors analyzed all-cause and cancer mortality in a prospective cohort of 155 HTLV-I, 387 HTLV-II, and 799 seronegative subjects.Vital status was ...
