The Neurourology of Tropical Spastic Paraparesis
British Journal of Urology, 1991Summary— 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 ...

Immunological studies in tropical spastic paraparesis
Annals of Neurology, 1990AbstractTropical 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

T ropical spastic paraparesis (TSP), a progressive myelopathy predominantly affecting the lower limbs, is currently synonymous with human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLVI)–associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). At the turn of the 20th century, Drs Henry Strachan and Henry Scott provided the first clinical descriptions of ...

Tropical spastic paraparesis treated with Combivir (lamivudine–zidovudine)
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2013Tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) or human T-cell leukemia virus-type 1 (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy is caused by human T-lymphotropic virus type 1. It is a slow, progressive spastic paraparesis with significant morbidity and causing profound repercussions on quality of life.

A clinical neurophysiologic study of tropical spastic paraparesis
Muscle & Nerve, 1988AbstractDuring 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

Tropical spastic paraparesis: A neuroepidemiological study in Colombia
Annals of Neurology, 1985AbstractA geographic isolate of tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) in Tumaco, Colombia, is described. Fifity confirmed cases were identified (29 men, 21 women) with an estimated prevalence rario of 98 cases per 100, 000 population. Patients with identified cases ranged in age from 24 to75 years (mean, 46.5). TSP begins with burning feet, leg stiffness,
