Seroprevalence of HTLV-1 among kidney graft recipients: a single-center study.

Abstract

The frequency of HTLV-1 among renal transplant recipients of our region in the northwest of Iran was not so high, and it is similar to the HTLV- 1 seroprevalence among hemodialysis patients. Still, it is more frequent among healthy blood donors as representative of the general population in our region.
