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,

Tropical Spastic Paraparesis/HTLV-I-Associated Myelopathy in Brazil
Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes and Human Retrovirology, 1996Brazil, the largest Latin American country, is highly heterogeneous, both demographically and socioeconomically. The overall human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) seroprevalence among blood donors is approximately 0.45%. These rates are highly variable, from 0 to 1.8%.

The significance of immune disorder in tropical spastic paraparesis
Human Antibodies, 1999The 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.
