Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type-I (HTLV-I) was the first pathogenic retrovirus identified in humans. HTLV-I is now linked to a number of clinical diseases, most notably adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and the syndrome known as HTLV-associated myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). For the emergency physician practicing among patients from high-risk groups, HTLV-I infection and its associated diseases are presenting an increasing challenge. This report describes its transmission, seroprevalence, associated diseases, and methods to control the spread of this retrovirus.
人类嗜T细胞病毒I型（HTLV-I）是在人类中发现的第一种致病性逆转录病毒。目前，HTLV-I与多种临床疾病相关，最显著的是成人T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤以及被称为HTLV相关脊髓病或热带痉挛性截瘫（HAM/TSP）的综合征。对于在高危人群中执业的急诊医生而言，HTLV-I感染及其相关疾病带来的挑战日益增加。本报告描述了其传播途径、血清流行率、相关疾病以及控制这种逆转录病毒传播的方法。
