The Neurourology of Tropical Spastic Paraparesis

British Journal of Urology, 1991
Summary— We report the clinical features, urodynamic results and neurophysiological findings in 6 patients with urinary symptoms related to tropical spastic paraplegia. The widespread nature of the pathological changes within the nervous system result in a complex variety of urodynamic and neurophysiological ...

Tropical spastic paraparesis in colombia

Annals of Neurology, 1988
A high-incidence focus of tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) occurs on the South Pacific coast of Colombia. Of 55 patients studied, 52 (94.5%) had IgG antibodies to the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid. Control groups did not show similar high positivity.

Tropical spastic paraparesis

2023
A large number of causative agents can result in spinal cord disorders in the tropics including etiologies similar to those of temperate regions such as trauma, spinal bone and disc lesions, tumors, epidural abscess, and congenital malformations. Yet infectious and nutritional disorders differ in their higher prevalence in tropical regions including ...

Immunological studies in tropical spastic paraparesis

Annals of Neurology, 1990
AbstractTropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) and other chronic‐progressive myelopathies have been clearly associated with increased serum and cerebrospinal fluid antibody titers to human T‐lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I). However, little is known about the cellular immune function in TSP. In the present study, activated T lymphocytes were found in the

The neuroepidemiology of tropical spastic paraparesis

Annals of Neurology, 1988
Recent neuroepidemiological studies of endemic tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) have confirmed the existence of high-prevalence foci in several tropical islands, including Jamaica and Martinique in the Caribbean, Tumaco off the Pacific coast of Colombia, and the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.

The significance of immune disorder in tropical spastic paraparesis

Human Antibodies, 1999
The reports of the occurrence of HTLV-1 infection and/or HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (HAM/tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) in patients with certain organ-specific and nonorgan-specific autoimmune diseases prompted us to assess the relationship between TSP and humoral autoimmunity.

A clinical neurophysiologic study of tropical spastic paraparesis

Muscle & Nerve, 1988
AbstractDuring a field study in the Seychelles Islands, 19 patients with tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) were evaluated electrophysiologically. Methods of assessment included motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and analysis of the somatosensory evoked potentials after stimulation of the tibial and median nerves. The results
