TI  - Chronic sensory neuronopathy associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 
      I infection.
PG  - 55-8
AB  - We described two patients with chronic sensory neuronopathy who had anti-HTLV-I 
      antibody in serum and cerebrospinal fluid but no signs of myelopathy. A sural 
      nerve specimen revealed severe degeneration of myelinated and unmyelinated axons. 
      The second patient had subclinical Sjogren's syndrome suggestive of a possible 
      link among human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), Sjogren's syndrome 
      and sensory neuronopathy, respectively. The broad spectrum of neurologic 
      disorders associated with HTLV-I infection now would include chronic sensory 
      neuronopathy.
