A case of T-cell-derived chronic lymphocytic leukemia (T-CLL) with antibodies to adult T-cell leukemia (ATL)-associated antigens (ATLA) is reported. The patient had marked lymphocytosis consisting of peripheral cells that were shown to be T cells by their spontaneous sheep erythrocyte rosette formation and their OKT3 and OKT8 positivity, and in which ATLA were also detected after short-term culture of the cells in vitro. These findings suggest that adult T-cell leukemia virus (ATLV) might cause not only ATL but also some other lymphoid malignancies such as a type of T-CLL as in this case report. Nevertheless the occasional development of OKT8-positive T-CLL in a healthy carrier of ATLV in an ATL-endemic area cannot be disregarded.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
