Abstract
A case of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) associated myelopathy (HAM)/tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) with 14-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is reported. For 9 years, the numbness of the feet and sacral region progressed with occasional urinary incontinence and constipation. She was admitted to hospital due to gait disturbance and aggravation of SLE and the diagnosis of HAM/TSP was confirmed, indicating that HTLV-1 infection is associated with the development of not only HAM/TSP but also SLE.Entities:
