absence of human t-lymphotropic virus type i tax sequences in a population of normal blood donors in the baltimore, md/washington, dc, area: results from a multicenter study.it was reported recently that sequences corresponding to the human t-lymphotropic virus type i (htlv-i) tax gene were detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 8 to 11 percent of healthy blood donors without detectable antibodies to htlv-i. a multicenter blind study was conducted to determine if these results could be independently confirmed.199910504129
antibody to human retroviruses among drug users in three east coast american cities, 1972-1976.between 1972 and 1976, 585 persons attending methadone maintenance clinics at east coast veterans hospitals were enrolled in a survey of hepatitis antibody prevalence. sera were tested for human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and human t lymphotropic virus (htlv) using both htlv-i and htlv-ii immunoblots. clinical and death records were also reviewed. none of the sera had hiv antibodies (upper 95% confidence limit, 0.5%); however, 103 (18%) had reactivity to htlv. the profile of reactivity suggest ...19911670608
concomitant infection of htlv-i and hiv-1: prevalence of igg and igm antibodies in washington, d.c. area.serum samples collected from four groups of individuals in the washington, d.c. area were examined for the presence of igg and igm classes of antibody reacting against htlv-i and hiv-1. these four groups were: (1) healthy adults with negative premarital vdrl test for syphilis (n = 113), (2) miscellaneous common disease patients (n = 155), (3) drug abusers (n = 130), and (4) homosexual men (n = 187). the former two groups are considered to be low-risk groups, and the latter two, high-risk groups. ...19882904886
