Human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 infection and solid organ transplantation
SummaryHTLV infection appears to be more common among renal transplant candidates than in the related general population. HTLV‐1‐associated diseases may occur in carriers who are transplanted but there is insufficient evidence to confirm whether these occur more frequently as a result of the associated immunosuppression. Consequently, pre‐existing HTLV‐
