Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 or human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I), also called the adult T-cell lymphoma virus type 1, is a retrovirus of the human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) family. Most people with HTLV-1 infection do not appear to develop health conditions that can be directly linked to the infection.

2024年12月4日 · Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus which causes a chronic lifelong infection in humans. HTLV-1 is primarily transmitted through breast feeding, sexual contact and, needle sharing and unsafe blood transfusion.

2024年7月25日 · HTLV-1 causes adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) or HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in about 1 in 20 people (5%) of people infected with it. ATL is a type of blood cancer.

2023年7月4日 · Human T Cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV) are a family of retroviruses. Currently, four types of this virus have been identified which are known to infect humans with a pathological consequence: HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HTLV-3, and HTLV-4. These viruses are known for their oncogenic potential as well as etiology in other disease processes.

In this review, we critically analyze HTLV-1 pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, associated diseases, preventive strategies, and treatments, with emphasis to the emerging risk for Europe and particularly Spain, focusing on prevention methods …

2021年3月3日 · HTLV-1 is a retrovirus which causes a chronic lifelong infection in humans. Its transmission happens through breast feeding, sexual contact and blood transfusions and is similar to the HIV virus. It causes a range of clinical syndromes.

2024年2月12日 · The human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus that infects 10 to 20 million people worldwide, as estimated by seroprevalence studies. However, HTLV-I is associated with disease in only approximately 5 percent of infected individuals [1,2].

Summary: Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the first human retrovirus to be discovered, is present in diverse regions of the world, where its infection is usually neglected in health care settings and by public health authorities.

2021年3月3日 · Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus‐1 (HTLV‐1) is the first human retrovirus to be identified (1977). This retrovirus causes an aggressive malignancy of the blood and blood-forming organs, known as adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL).

In this review, we critically analyze HTLV-1 pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, associated diseases, preventive strategies, and treatments, with emphasis to the emerging risk for Europe and particularly Spain, focusing on prevention methods …
