TI  - Infection with the human T-lymphotropic virus type I. A review for clinicians.
PG  - 632-7
AB  - The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is the first retrovirus 
      identified in humans. It has been responsible for a number of clinical syndromes, 
      most notably adult T-cell leukemia or lymphoma and tropical spastic paraparesis. 
      In the United States, infection with this virus is most frequently found in 
      specific subsets of our population, particularly in those who live in the 
      southeastern states, have southern Japanese ancestry, or share intravenous drug 
      paraphernalia. Understanding the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of this 
      virus is necessary to properly diagnose and care for patients with HTLV-I 
      infection.
