TI  - Simultaneous adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and sub-acute polyneuropathy in a 
      patient from Chile.
PG  - 350-3
AB  - This paper reports a case of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma associated with human 
      T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) diagnosed in a Chilean patient who 
      developed after 1 1/2 years a crisis with a progressive sensorimotor 
      polyneuropathy. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid HTLV-I antibody tests were positive 
      and HTLV-I DNA was clonally integrated in peripheral lymphocytes. This case is 
      unusual in having simultaneous neurological disease. Along with other recent data 
      from South America, this suggests that the endemic area of HTLV-I may spread far 
      beyond the Caribbean area.
