The Human T lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infects predominantly T cells, inducing
proliferation and lymphocyte activation. Additionally, HTLV-1 infected subjects are more …

In the present study, the frequency, the activation and the cytokine and chemokine profile of
HTLV-1 carriers with or without dermatological lesions were thoroughly described and …

This study compared the proviral load and the plasma cytokine profiles (interleukin-IL-2, IL-
4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ) in 87 HTLV-1-infected individuals, including 28 with HTLV-1 …

Human T cell lymphotropic virus type‐1 (HTLV‐1) induces activation and spontaneous
proliferation of T cells with production of type‐1 pro‐inflammatory cytokines. It modifies the …

Human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection is associated with an exacerbated
type 1 immune response and secretion of high levels of proinflammatory cytokines. In …

Objectives: HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-
1) share the same routes of infection, making coinfection by these viruses a frequent finding …

Asymptomatic Leishmania infantum, when associated with HIV, can become severe and
potentially fatal. In this co-infection, the worst prognosis may be influenced by the host's …

Several studies suggest that HTLV-1 infection may be associated with a wider spectrum of
neurologic manifestations that do not meet diagnostic criteria for HAM/TSP. These …

Approximately 5% of people infected with human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)
develop clinical myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) that is associated …

Background High HTLV-1 proviral load (PVL) is mainly found in infected individuals with
HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). However one third …
