Neurologic abnormalities in HTLV-I– and HTLV-II–infected individuals without overt myelopathy

Abstract

These results provide strong evidence that human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I and -II are associated with a spectrum of predominantly motor abnormalities in patients without overt HTLV-associated myelopathy. Further investigation of the clinical course and etiology of these abnormalities is warranted.
