Serum specimens were assayed for human T-lymphotropic virus type II(HTLV-II) infection in 1,500 individuals known to be seropositive for HTLV-I and 30,000 blood donors in Japan. All HTLV-I-positive individuals were negative for HTLV-II. However, one of the blood donors was clearly seropositive for HTLV-II. Further, the donor was shown to be positive for HTLV-IIb. Here we report at least one case with HTLV-II in Japan and discuss the origin of the infection.
对日本1500名已知HTLV-I血清学阳性个体和30000名献血者的血清样本进行了II型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒(HTLV-II)感染检测。所有HTLV-I阳性个体的HTLV-II检测均为阴性。然而,一名献血者的HTLV-II检测结果呈明显阳性。此外,该献血者被检测出HTLV-IIb呈阳性。在此,我们报告日本至少有一例HTLV-II感染病例,并讨论该感染的来源。
