The presence of antibodies against HTLV-I was investigated with ELISA and Western blot techniques in 76 patients with lymphoproliferative syndromes (n = 53), idiopathic subacute myelopathies (n = 4), chronic T-lymphocytosis (n = 3) and collagen vascular diseases (n = 16) diagnosed in the Barcelona area. 9 HIV seropositive patients were included: 7 with lymphoma, 1 with chronic T-lymphocytosis and 1 with polymyositis. Although 3 samples were repeatedly positive with ELISA, none was confirmed with Western blot. These results suggest that in our country, contrasting with areas where HTLV-I infection is endemic, acute and chronic lymphoproliferative diseases, collagen vascular diseases and demyelinating neurologic diseases are not associated with HTLV-I infection. The development of lymphoma in patients seropositive for HIV also could not be related with HTLV-I infection.

D003095 Collagen Diseases Historically, a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, etc. This classification was based on the notion that "collagen" was equivalent to "connective tissue", but with the present recognition of the different types of collagen and the aggregates derived from them as distinct entities, the term "collagen diseases" now pertains exclusively to those inherited conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly.
