HTLV-I infection has been associated with adult T leukemia and tropical spastic paraparesis. Recent reports have described lymphoma malignancies in HTLY-1 seropositive patients resembling Hodgkin lymphomas. A case of a l 7-year-old patient who was diagnosed as having Hodgkin lymphoma by histopathological studies is being described. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of two lymph node biopsies obtained at the beginning and the end of the disease showed the presence of the HTL Y-1 genome. Based on this case and others, assessing HTLY-1 status in patients with lymphoma could have important diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic implications.
