PURPOSE
We describe the first two cases of HTLV-1 associated uveitis to be associated with HTLV-1c subtype infection.
METHODS
Case report.
RESULTS
Uveitis was demonstrated in two Indigenous Australian men, both of whom had high HTLV-1c proviral loads in peripheral blood. Visual outcomes were poor in each case.
CONCLUSION
Clinicians should be aware of HTLV-1c infection as a cause of uveitis in Australia, and HTLV-1 serology should be included in the basic uveitis work-up in HTLV-1-endemic areas.
目的
我们描述了首例与人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒1型（HTLV-1）c亚型感染相关的HTLV-1相关性葡萄膜炎病例。
方法
病例报告。
结果
两名澳大利亚原住民男性被诊断为葡萄膜炎，他们外周血中的HTLV-1c前病毒载量均很高。两例患者的视力预后均较差。
结论
临床医生应意识到HTLV-1c感染是澳大利亚葡萄膜炎的一个病因，在HTLV-1流行地区，葡萄膜炎的基本检查应包括HTLV-1血清学检测。
