Infective dermatitis‐like lesions as a novel skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus
We describe a unique case of human T‐lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV‐1)‐associated infective dermatitis‐like lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus. This suggests that some lupus patients may have immunological abnormalities resembling to those described in ...

Expression of alternatively spliced human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 mRNAs is influenced by mitosis and by a novel cis-acting regulatory sequence [PDF]
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) expression depends on the concerted action of Tax, which drives transcription of the viral genome, and Rex, which favors expression of incompletely spliced mRNAs and determines a 2-phase temporal pattern of ...

Equine herpesvirus 1 bridles T lymphocytes to reach its target organs [PDF]
Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV1) replicates in the respiratory epithelium and disseminates through the body via a cell-associated viremia in leukocytes, despite the presence of neutralizing antibodies. "Hijacked" leukocytes, previously identified as monocytic

Zika virus surveillance post‐epidemic in blood donors from São Paulo, Brazil 2016–2020
Abstract Introduction Zika virus (ZIKV) is primarily transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, though transmission via blood transfusion has also been documented. During the 2015 ZIKV epidemic in Brazil, severe complications were observed in pregnant women, leading to fetal microcephaly. This study evaluated the persistence of ZIKV in

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‐

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 infection and disease in Spain
: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection is a neglected disease despite roughly 15 million people are chronically infected worldwide. Lifelong less than 10% of carriers develop life-threatening diseases, mostly a subacute myelopathy known as tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) and a lymphoproliferative disorder named adult T-cell leukemia (

Self-Flagellation as Possible Route of Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type-1 Transmission
We report human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infection associated with self-flagellation in 10 UK residents. These persons were heterosexual men from Pakistan, India, and Iraq.

European Code Against Cancer, 5th edition – cancer‐causing infections and related interventions
The 5th edition of the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC5) contains 14 recommendations on cancer prevention. Here, we update the cancer prevention recommendations related to cancer‐causing infections, namely H. pylori, HPV, HBV, HCV and HIV, positioned as recommendation number 12.

Expansion in CD39(+) CD4(+) Immunoregulatory T Cells and Rarity of Th17 Cells in HTLV-1 Infected Patients Is Associated with Neurological Complications [PDF]
HTLV-1 infection is associated with several inflammatory disorders, including the neurodegenerative condition HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). It is unclear why a minority of infected subjects develops HAM/TSP.

Lymphotropic Viruses: Chronic Inflammation and Induction of Cancers
Inflammation induced by transcription factors, including Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STATs) and NF-κB, in response to microbial pathogenic infections and ligand dependent receptors stimulation are critical for controlling ...
