Human T-Cell leukemia/Lymphoma virus-Associated lymphoreticular neoplasia in Jamaica
摘要：
19 (34%) of 56 Jamaicans with lympho-proliferative neoplasia had antibody to the human T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV) in their sera. 17 of those positive had either non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Of 16 consecutive patients presenting with NHL, 11 (69%) were HTLV seropositive. Virus-positive patients with NHL, among whom females were over-represented, had the clinical features and poor survival typical of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. HTLV-associated leukaemia/ lymphoma is a distinct clinicopathological entity, and the high incidence in this series suggests that HTLV is an important cause of lymphoreticular neoplasia in Jamaica.
