Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
When pregnant women were tested for antibody to human T-cell leukemia virus-I, some were found to be positive although they had been negative during the previous pregnancy. In these women, HTLV-I infection was found from pedigree studies to have been acquired from their mothers rather than from their husbands. Furthermore, some of them had apparently remained HTLV-I antibody-negative for long periods after infection. When the breast-fed children of these women, in whom HTLV-I was acquired from their mothers but who were in an HTLV-I antibody-negative state, were also examined for evidence of HTLV-I infection, none was found. |
