Syncytium inhibition assay to distinguish between HTLV-I and HTLV-II infection was performed with sera and cerebrospinal fluid of 15 HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM) patients. Also, genome analysis of HTLV-II proviral DNA was performed in some HAM patients by use of the polymerase chain reaction method. All of the HAM patients were negative for co-infection with HTLV-II.

D015493 Paraparesis, Tropical Spastic A subacute paralytic myeloneuropathy occurring endemically in tropical areas such as the Caribbean, Colombia, India, and Africa, as well as in the southwestern region of Japan; associated with infection by HUMAN T-CELL LEUKEMIA VIRUS I. Clinical manifestations include a slowly progressive spastic weakness of the legs, increased reflexes, Babinski signs, incontinence, and loss of vibratory and position sensation. On pathologic examination inflammatory, demyelination, and necrotic lesions may be found in the spinal cord.
