AB  - We report a 47-year-old Japanese woman with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical 
      spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) combined with acute type adult T-cell leukemia 
      (ATL). The susceptibility for HAM/TSP and acute type of ATL is hitherto explained 
      by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype-linked immune responsiveness to 
      HTLV-I. This patient's HLA (A24Cw1B54DR4DQ4/A24Cw3B51DR8DQ1) included a 
      HAM-associated HLA haplotype. This suggests that HAM patients with HAM-associated 
      HLA haplotype can also develop the acute type of ATL.
