TI  - Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) carrier with clinical 
      manifestations characteristic of diffuse panbronchiolitis.
PG  - 305-9
AB  - A 45-year-old male was referred due to prolonged productive cough. Despite the 
      fact that bronchoalveolar lavage fluid suggested lymphocytic and neutrophilic 
      alveolitis, the histologic diagnosis of his biopsied lung was diffuse 
      panbronchiolitis-like lesion with infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells 
      into respiratory bronchioles but few foamy cells. Serologic examination revealed 
      that he was a carrier of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). 
      Together with uveitis and ulcerative colitis in his past history, the persistent 
      respiratory symptoms of this patient can be attributed to non-neoplastic 
      inflammation due to the chronic HTLV-I infection.
