Infective dermatitis associated with HTLV-1 (IDH) is the main cutaneous marker of HTLV-1 infection. This disease occurs primarily in children and should be differentiated from other eczemas, especially from atopic dermatitis. The largest series of IDH are from Jamaica and Brazil. There are an estimated 15 to 20 million infected people in the world, and Brazil is one of the endemic regions. Studies suggest that IDH in children may be a marker for the development of T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) or myelopathy associated with HTLV-1/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM / TSP) in adulthood.
与人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒1型(HTLV-1)相关的感染性皮炎(IDH)是HTLV-1感染的主要皮肤标志物。这种疾病主要发生在儿童中,应与其他湿疹相鉴别,尤其是特应性皮炎。关于IDH的最大规模系列研究来自牙买加和巴西。全世界估计有1500万至2000万人感染,巴西是流行地区之一。研究表明,儿童期的IDH可能是成年期发生T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(ATL)或与HTLV-1相关的脊髓病/热带痉挛性截瘫(HAM/TSP)的一个标志。
