The presence of antibodies to human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) types 1 and 2 was examined in 5742 sera belonging to consecutive adult outpatients attended during June 2008 at 13 different hospitals across Spain. Overall, 58.8% were female. Foreigners represented 8% of the study population. Seven individuals were seropositive for HTLV-2 (overall prevalence 0.12%). No cases of HTLV-1 infection were found. All HTLV-2(+) subjects were Spanish natives, of whom six were coinfected with HIV-1 and five with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Moreover, all but one of the HTLV-2(+) subjects had been intravenous drug users. In summary, this cross-sectional survey suggests that the rate of HTLV infection in Spain is low, and is mostly represented by HTLV-2. Infected individuals are generally Spanish natives with a prior history of intravenous drug use and are coinfected with HIV-1 and/or HCV.
对2008年6月期间西班牙13家不同医院连续收治的5742名成年门诊患者的血清进行了检测，以确定是否存在针对1型和2型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒（HTLV）的抗体。总体而言，58.8%为女性。外国人占研究人群的8%。7人HTLV-2血清学阳性（总体患病率0.12%）。未发现HTLV-1感染病例。所有HTLV-2阳性受试者均为西班牙本地人，其中6人同时感染HIV-1，5人同时感染丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）。此外，除1名HTLV-2阳性受试者外，其余均有静脉吸毒史。总之，这项横断面调查表明，西班牙的HTLV感染率较低，且大多为HTLV-2感染。感染个体通常为有静脉吸毒史的西班牙本地人，并同时感染HIV-1和/或HCV。
