| a study of adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma incidence in central brooklyn. | adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma (atl), a rare outcome of infection with human t-lymphotropic virus (htlv-i), is endemic in central brooklyn, which has a large caribbean migrant population. previous studies have suggested that htlv-i prevalence in central brooklyn may be similar to that recorded in the caribbean islands. we established a pilot 1-year surveillance program to identify cases of atl in 7 of 10 hospitals serving the residents of 18 zip codes of central brooklyn with a combined populati ... | 1999 | 10048963 |
| human t-lymphotrophic virus type 1-associated infective dermatitis: a comprehensive review. | infective dermatitis (id) is a chronic, relapsing dermatitis associated with human t-lymphotrophic virus (htlv)-1 which was initially described in jamaican children. although most cases have been reported in jamaica, id may be seen in other htlv-1 endemic areas, such as brazil, japan, sub-saharan africa, and trinidad and tobago. since htlv-1 infection has been implicated in the development of adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma, an aggressive hematologic malignancy, and htlv-1-associated myelopathy/t ... | 2011 | 20691499 |

| effect of human t-lymphotropic virus type i infection on non-hodgkin's lymphoma incidence. | we previously reported from a case-control analysis that t-cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl) was strongly associated with human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) infection in jamaica and trinidad and that the relative risk for htlv-i infection was very high in younger patients. | 1995 | 7629870 |
| racial and other characteristics of human t cell leukemia/lymphoma (htlv-i) and aids (htlv-iii) in trinidad. | adult t cell leukaemia/lymphoma was first recognised as a clinical entity in southwest japan. subsequently the caribbean has been found to be another area where the disease is endemic, and sporadic cases have been identified in different parts of the world. the human t cell leukaemia/lymphoma virus (htlv-i) is causally related to adult t cell leukaemia/lymphoma. a subgroup of htlv, designated htlv-iii, has recently been isolated from many patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aid ... | 1985 | 2985171 |
| a study of htlv-i and its associated risk factors in trinidad and tobago. | seroprevalence of human t-lymphotropic virus type 1 (htlv-i) among a sample of persons selected from a government register of businesses in trinidad was 3.2% in 1,025 persons of african descent compared to 0.2% among 487 persons of asian descent and 0% among 46 persons of european-descent. in tobago, from a coastal village, among persons of african ancestry ascertained as part of a cardiovascular survey, the rate was 11.4%, which was significantly higher when corrected for age and race than the ... | 1990 | 2213511 |
| role of htlv-i in development of non-hodgkin lymphoma in jamaica and trinidad and tobago. the htlv lymphoma study group. | human t-cell lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) has been implicated in the aetiology of adult t-cell leukaemia/lymphoma in japan and elsewhere, particularly the caribbean. we have carried out parallel case-control studies in jamaica and in trinidad and tobago to quantify the role of htlv-i in the development of non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl). 135 cases of nhl were enrolled in jamaica and 104 in trinidad and tobago. controls were selected from patients treated in the same wards or clinics at the same ... | 1993 | 7902480 |
| human t-cell lymphotropic virus type i-associated facial nerve palsy in trinidad and tobago. | to assess the association of the human t-cell lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) and idiopathic facial nerve palsy of the lower motor neuron type, we studied 78 patients consecutively admitted to the port of spain general hospital in trinidad, the west indies, with a confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic facial nerve palsy. patients were compared with two control groups: a population-based group of persons 20 years and older and a hospital-based group of patients 15 to 84 years old admitted to the m ... | 1997 | 9189042 |
| transmission of htlv-i and hiv among homosexual men in trinidad. | risk for human t-cell lymphotropic virus type (htlv-i) and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection was evaluated in 100 homosexual or bisexual men from trinidad. high seropositivity for htlv-i (15% vs 2.4% in the general population) was linked to duration of homosexuality and numbers of partners, suggesting that htlv-i, like hiv, can be transmitted by homosexual sex. forty percent of homosexuals compared with 0.19% of the general population were seropositive for hiv, and sexual contact with ... | 1987 | 2883330 |
