	Human T-lymphotropic virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HTLV-I is an abbreviation for the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1, also called the human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1, a virus that has been seriously implicated in several kinds of diseases including HTLV-I-associated myelopathy, infection with Strongyloides stercoralis, and a virus cancer link for leukemia (see adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma).
		HTLV-I infection in the United States appears to be about half as prevalent as HIV infection among IV drug users and about one-tenth as prevalent in the population at large.
		Studies of HTLV-I antibody indicate that the virus is endemic in southern Japan, in the Pacific coast of Colombia and Ecuador, in the Caribbean, and in Africa.

	HTLV-1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		HTLV-I is associated with a rare form of blood dsycrasia known as Adult T-cell Leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and a myelopathy, tropical spastic paresis.
		Among HTLV-I asymptomatic carriers, viral cosmopolitan subtypes A, B, C and E were identified in 73.8%, 7.1%, 7.1% and 12% of tested samples, respectively, whereas among HAM/TSP patients, cosmopolitan A (89.3%), cosmopolitan C (7.1%) and cosmopolitan E (3.6%) subtypes were detected.
		The HTLV-I provirus DNA was positive in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, cutaneous lesions and lymph node biopsy specimens by using PCR amplification of specific HTLV-I fragment while 18 cases of the CL were negative for HTLV-I. The special ultrastructure of skin lesions was also found in ATLL patients.
