The use of botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of HTLV-1-associated overactive bladder refractory to conventional therapy

Abstract: Urinary symptoms occur in 19% of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-infected patients who do not fulfi ll criteria for HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and in almost 100% of HAM/TSP patients. Few studies have evaluated therapies for overactive bladder (OAB) caused by HTLV-1 infection. This case report describes the effect of onabotulinum toxin A on the urinary manifestations of three patients with HAM/TSP and OAB symptoms. The patients were intravesically adminis… Show more

“…Hence, the toxic effects of anticholinergic drugs may sometimes outweigh their treatment efficacy. Carneiro et al reported the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A for HAM/TSP‐associated OAB refractory to conventional drug in 3 patients. Botulinum toxin type A, a neuromuscular blocking agent, has been used to treat neurogenic OAB following detrusor overactivity in patients with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury .…”

“…In addition, it has been reported that HAM/TSP patients with neurogenic bladder may also have urinary tract infection and voiding dysfunction . In fact, 1 of the 3 patients in report of Carneiro et al showed an increase in PVR from 32 to 410 mL after botulinum toxin type A intravesical injection therapy . Thus, an effective treatment strategy for lower urinary tract dysfunction in HAM/TSP patients has not yet been established.…”

“…Previous reports have indicated that BoNTA intravesical instillation therapy was effective in patients with neurogenic OAB caused by multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury 15,16 . However, there have been only two reports of the same group on the efficacy of BoNTA in patients with neurogenic OAB due to HAM/TSP refractory to conventional treatment 17,18 . Carneiro et al reported that total OABSS improved from 13.0 to 1.0 in 10 patients (3 probable HAM/TSP and 7 HAM/TSP) 30 days after BoNTA treatment 13 .…”
