We describe spinal myoclonus in a 35-year-old homosexual man with concurrent human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy--associated virus (HTLV III/LAV) infection of the central nervous system as indicated by intra-blood-brain barrier synthesis of HTLV III/LAV-specific IgG. The spinal myoclonus was characterized by asymmetric, rhythmic contractions of the abdomen with a frequency ranging between 40 and 70 per minute. The myoclonus was self-limited, resolving over the course of two months. Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy--associated virus should be considered among the viral causes of spinal myoclonus.
我们描述了一名35岁同性恋男性的脊髓性肌阵挛，该患者同时感染了人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒III型/淋巴结病相关病毒（HTLV III/LAV），血脑屏障内合成HTLV III/LAV特异性IgG表明其中枢神经系统受到感染。脊髓性肌阵挛的特征为腹部不对称、有节律的收缩，频率在每分钟40至70次之间。肌阵挛为自限性，在两个月内缓解。在脊髓性肌阵挛的病毒病因中应考虑人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒III型/淋巴结病相关病毒。
