HTLV-1-associated myelopathy in China. A disease acquired overseas?

S Seyfert1, S Blum.   

Abstract

This case report documents the first patient from mainland China with an HTLV-1-associated myelopathy. The available epidemiological data suggest a low rate of HTLV1 infection in China, although the surveys are comparatively small. Possible transmission routes and the risk of encountering the disease outside endemic areas are discussed.
