The Epidemiology of Diseases Associated with HTLV-I and HTLV-II

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1987
Considerable progress is being made in the understanding of at least two diseases associated with HTLV-I, ATLL and TSP. While laboratory methodology has not yet permitted comparable advances in identifying diseases associated with HTLV-II, if any, it is likely that a greater understanding of this and other retroviruses will result from the increasing ...

Samples were obtained from 53 large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL) patients and 10,000 volunteer blood donors (VBD). Sera were screened in an HTLV-1 enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and further analyzed in peptide-specific Western blots (WB). DNAs were analyzed by HTLV-1, -2, -3, and -4-specific PCR. Forty four percent of LGLL patients vs.

HTLV-III Transmission

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985
It comes as a relief to all and a surprise to almost none that nosocomial human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) infection is rare.

To the Editor.— A recent article by Robert-Guroff et al 1 reported a high prevalence of antibodies specific for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) in intravenous drug users studied in New York City. Serological evidence of infection with this virus has also been reported among intravenous drug users in Britain.
