CNS neutrophilic vasculitis in neuro-Sweet disease.

abstract：:We tested serum specimens from patients with HAM/TSP and asymptomatic HTLV-I carriers from endemic areas of Japan, Jamaica, Colombia, and Chile for neutralizing antibodies against HTLV-I. The data suggest a trend for neutralizing activity to be found more frequently in the sera from HAM/TSP patients than in sera from ...
