HTLV-I Infections
Influence of IL28B Genetic Variation on the Phenotype Infection of HTLV-1
Only 5 to 10% of patients infected with HTLV-1 develop a disease related to infection. The two most serious diseases are adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and Tropical spastic paraparesis /HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (TSP / HAM).
