TI  - Development of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I-associated adult T-cell 
      leukemia/lymphoma during immunosuppressive treatment following renal 
      transplantation.
PG  - 992-3
AB  - Although it is recognized that there is an increased incidence of 
      lymphoproliferative disorders among patients who have received immunosuppressive 
      therapy following transportation, there have been few reports of adult T-cell 
      leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) developing in previously asymptomatic carriers of human 
      T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) who have undergone transplantation. We 
      describe the development of such a tumor in a man who was HTLV-I-positive and 
      received immunosuppressive treatment following renal transplantation. As the 
      number of individuals in ethnic groups at risk for organ transplantation 
      increases, it would seem prudent to screen such individuals for carriage of 
      HTLV-I before transplantation and to follow them prospectively to confirm if 
      transplantation and immunosuppression predispose to the development of ATLL.
