TI  - Infections in patients with chronic adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma: case report 
      and review.
PG  - 1014-6
AB  - Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is caused by the human T-cell lymphotropic 
      virus type I (HTLV-I). ATLL is classified into the smoldering, chronic, lymphoma, 
      and acute subtypes. We describe a North American woman with chronic ATLL who 
      presented with pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii, Cryptococcus neoformans, 
      Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Mycobacterium avium complex. Although opportunistic 
      infections have been documented in patients with ATLL, there are few case reports 
      detailing infectious complications in patients with chronic ATLL.
