A 35-year-old black man is described who had a human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection while living in a non-endemic region. A lymphoproliferative disorder developed that might be considered as a transition stage between acute and chronic adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. This suggests that HTLV-I-induced neoplasias represent a continuous disease spectrum.
一名35岁黑人男性,居住在非流行区时感染了I型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒(HTLV-I)。随后发生了一种淋巴增殖性疾病,可被视为成人T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤急慢性阶段之间的过渡阶段。这表明HTLV-I诱导的肿瘤代表了一个连续的疾病谱。
