Neurologic consequences of HTLV-II infection in injection-drug users
Neurology, 1996 Several case reports have suggested an association between human T-cell lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) infection and chronic neurologic disease. We performed serial neurologic examinations in injection-drug users (IDU), a group known to be at increased risk for HTLV-II infection.

From Genomic and Epigenomic Maps to Medicines in Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma. [PDF]
Cancer SciABSTRACT Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive and refractory hematologic malignancy that is caused by human T‐cell leukemia virus type‐1 (HTLV‐1) retrovirus. ATL results from a combination of viral latency and the accumulation of abnormalities throughout the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and signaling pathways.

Absence of HTLV‐II Co‐infection in HTLV‐I‐associated Myelopathy Patients [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Cancer Research, 1992 Syncytium inhibition assay to distinguish between HTLV‐I and HTLV‐II infection was performed with sera and cerebrospinal fluid of 15 HTLV‐I‐associated myelopathy (HAM) patients. Also, genome analysis of HTLV‐II proviral DNA was performed in some HAM patients by use of the polymerase chain reaction method.
