Inflammatory manifestations of HTLV-1 and their therapeutic options

Abstract: Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is one of the most intriguing retroviruses infecting humans. Most commonly, infection remains undetected, since it does not cause obvious harm, yet in 4-9% of patients, this infection can be devastating, causing adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and/or HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). This review concentrates on all inflammatory aspects of HTLV-1 infection: HAM/TSP, HTLV-1 associated uveitis, HTLV-1 associated conjunctivitis, sicca syn… Show more

“…Por otro lado, con los corticosteroides orales (prednisona) o intravenosos (metilprednisolona) se han logrado beneficios a corto plazo, particularmente en la fase inicial de la enfermedad, cuando la inflamación predomina sobre la desmielinización; sin embargo, emplearlos en dosis altas causa efectos secundarios tempranos y tardíos, por lo que no se recomienda su uso a largo plazo (8). El ácido valproico también ha demostrado ser capaz de reducir la carga proviral y bloquear la expresión de HBZ, contrarrestando la estimulación de tax y con ello la replicación viral; no obstante, uno de los efectos adversos es la generación de radicales libres, por lo que se sugiere acompañarlo con antioxidantes (83,84).…”
