Abstract
BACKGROUND: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has been discovered in 1980 and has been linked to tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in 1985 in Martinique. There is no data on HAM/TSP incidence trends. We report, in the present work, the temporal trends incidence of HAM/TSP in Martinique over 25 years.Entities:

Crude and age-standardized 5-year incidence rates and rate ratio of HAM/TSP in Martinique between 1986 and 2010.

CI indicates Confidence Interval
The 1986-1990-study period was used as reference for the standardized incidence rate ratio calculation.
According to simple Poisson regression model, P for trend of age-standardized 5-year incidence rates over the study periods was calculated as <0.01.
HAM/TSP characteristics according a disease onset in 1986–2000 and 2001–2010 periods.

|---|---|---|---|
| Age at Onset | |||
| Sex Ratio F/M (% of female) | 104/24 (81.2) | 18/7 (72) | 0.43 |
| Gait Impairment Onset, n (%) | 104 (81.2) | 19 (76) | 0.7 |
| Blood transfusion before 1990, n (%) | 28 (21.9) | 4 (16) | 0.59 |
| Onset-to-Diagnosis Delay, | |||
| Proviral load (HTLV-1 copies per 106 PBMCs) | 107,954±104,248 | 135,880±140,000 | 0.48 |
Characteristics of 1986–2000 and 2001–2010 study periods were compared using Khi-2 test except for age (Student t-test), Blood transfusion (Fisher’s exact test) and Proviral load (Mann-Whitney test).
Level of HTLV-1 proviral load was missing for 30 patients, 23 HAM/TSP patients with an onset within 1986–2000 study period and 7 within 2001–2010 study period. The other variables were available for all patients.
