一名一直居住在美国的患者患有HTLV-I感染和慢性脊髓病，临床上类似于肌萎缩侧索硬化症。针状肌电和神经传导检查符合前角细胞病，但肌肉活检显示失神经和炎症性肌病。血清HTLV-I抗体检测阳性，外周血白细胞中存在HTLV-I DNA。这是第一例报告患有HTLV-I相关性脊髓病和多发性肌炎的美国本土患者。
A patient who had always lived in the United States had an HTLV-I infection and a chronic myelopathy clinically mimicking amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Needle EMG and nerve conduction studies were consistent with anterior horn cell disease but muscle biopsy showed denervation and an inflammatory myopathy. Serum HTLV-I antibody tests were positive and HTLV-I DNA was present in peripheral leukocytes. This is the 1st reported US native with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy and polymyositis.
HTLV-I 多发性肌炎患者也感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒。
