This morning, we reviewed a case of HTLV-1 associated T-Cell lymphoma. The human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus.
As we discussed, HTLV-1 is also associated with myelopathy, AKA tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) which causes progressive weakness and spasticity of one or both legs with hyperreflexia.
HTLV-I is diagnosed by serum serology.
Treatment is not indicated for asymptomatic HTLV-1 infection.
*The title of this post has nothing to do with HTLV-1. I just liked Dr. HPK's quote from this morning!
