Abstract

Sera from 653 female prostitutes and 153 male sexual clients living in the city of Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, were tested for the presence of antibodies to human T cell lymphotropic virus types I and II. Seroprevalence for HTLV-I in the females was 2.8% and in the males 2.0%. Infection by HTLV-II could not be demonstrated. Seropositivity to HTLV-I was not associated with intravenous drug use, modality of sexual behaviour or a history of sexually transmitted disease. Among the prostitutes, the prevalence of anti-HTLV-I antibodies was 3 times higher in those with a history of blood transfusion (P = 0.01).

摘要

对居住在巴西圣保罗州桑托斯市的653名女性性工作者和153名男性性服务对象的血清进行了检测，以确定是否存在抗I型和II型人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒抗体。女性中HTLV-I的血清阳性率为2.8%，男性为2.0%。未检测到HTLV-II感染。HTLV-I血清阳性与静脉注射毒品、性行为方式或性传播疾病史无关。在性工作者中，有输血史者抗HTLV-I抗体的患病率是无输血史者的3倍（P = 0.01）。
