INTRODUCTION
The prevalence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) infection is heterogeneous across different populations. We tested the hypothesis that HTLV-1/2 infection occurs more often in dermatological patients.
METHODS
A total of 1,091 patients from a tropical dermatology clinic were tested for HTLV-1/2. In parallel, 6865 first-time blood donors from the same geographic area were screened for HTLV-1/2; HTLV-1/2 positive blood donors underwent dermatological examinations.
RESULTS
The prevalence of HTLV-1/2 in first-time blood donors was 0.14%. No co-occurrence of HTLV-1/2 infection and dermatological conditions was observed.
CONCLUSIONS
Our results challenge the hypothesis that HTLV-1/2 infection occurs more often in dermatological patients.
引言
人类嗜T细胞病毒1型和2型（HTLV-1/2）感染在不同人群中的流行情况存在差异。我们检验了HTLV-1/2感染在皮肤科患者中更常见这一假设。
方法
对一家热带皮肤病诊所的1091名患者进行了HTLV-1/2检测。同时，对来自同一地理区域的6865名首次献血者进行了HTLV-1/2筛查；HTLV-1/2阳性献血者接受了皮肤科检查。
结果
首次献血者中HTLV-1/2的流行率为0.14%。未观察到HTLV-1/2感染与皮肤病同时出现的情况。
结论
我们的结果对HTLV-1/2感染在皮肤科患者中更常见这一假设提出了质疑。
