Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma in a patient with HTLV-I/II associated myelopathy

Abstract: Chronic myelopathy associated with T-lymphotropic virus type I (HAM) has been described as an endemic disease in several areas of the world, meanwhile there are few papers describing the association between HAM and adult T cell leukemia-lymphoma. We report the case of a man that, after four years of progressive spastic paraparesis and neurogenic bladder, developed a clinical picture of a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by dermal and systemic involvement, mimicking mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome.

“…The occasional presentation of ATL in HAM/TSP patients (and vice versa) was also reported (Kawai et al, 1989;Freitas et al, 1997;Goncalves et al, 1999;Kasahata et al, 2000). HTLV-I has been implicated as the cause of HAM/TSP through several lines of evidence: (1) HTLV-I has been isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HAM/ TSP patients (Bhagavati et al, 1988); (2) intrathecal synthesis of HTLV-I antibodies within the CSF can be detected in some patients (Gessain et al, 1988); (3) viral genome can be detected within involved tissues by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by in situ hybridization (Iannone et al, 1992;Lehky et al, 1995); and (4) HAM/TSP has been shown to develop following blood transfusion to an HTLV-I seronegative recipient from an HTLV-I-infected donor (Gout et al, 1990).…”

“…A apresentação clínica da paraparesia espástica t ropical/mielopatia associada ao HTLV-I (PET/MAH) é caracterizada por paraparesia espástica associada a alterações sensitivas, disfunção vesical, impotên-cia e obstipação intestinal, além de outras patologias como leucemia-linfoma 1 , artralgias, alveolite linfocítica e uveíte 2 . A maior prevalência de HTLV-I em doadores de sangue (1,35%) 3 em nosso país é a da capital do Estado da Bahia, Salvador.…”
