T-cell neoplasms and HTLV-I virus in southwestern Colombia
Main Article Content
From patients seen at the hematology service of the University Hospital in Cali, Colombia, 76 cases of lymphomas and leukemias were analyzed for antibodies to adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV-I) and immunological typing. Two of 41 lymphomas (4.9%) and 1 of 35 leukemias (2.8%) had antibodies to the virus. Both lymphomas were of T-cell type with clinical and pathological features of high-grade malignancy. The leukemia case was immunologically undetermined.
