AB  - Thirty-six patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I 
      (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy were studied by electroencephalogram. Twenty-two 
      of 36 patients showed mild to moderate electroencephalographic abnormalities, 
      ranging from poor organization or slowing of the background activity to theta 
      bursts and/or spikes. None of these abnormalities were considered specific for 
      HTLV-I-associated myelopathy. These electroencephalographic abnormalities had no 
      apparent relationship to duration or severity of illness, nor to HTLV-I antibody 
      titers in the cerebrospinal fluid. We document electroencephalographic changes in 
      HTLV-I-associated myelopathy. Our data are consistent with previous reports 
      describing the fact that involvement of regions above the spinal cord may exist 
      in HTLV-I-associated myelopathy.
