AB The relationship between several disorders, including adult T-cell
leukaemia, and HTLV I/II virus infection has been clearly demonstrated.
In order to assess the prevalence of such viral infection in a group of
multiple-transfusion patients in the State of Yucatan, Mexico, a study
was carried out on 140 patients with anti-HTLV-I/II antibodies
demonstrated by ELISA and sensitized particles agglutination test. The
patients had received 447 units of blood or blood components as a whole,
and the mean time elapsed between the transfusion and the study was 2.5
years (range, 0.5-40), other risks of infection being discarded. No HTLV
I/II reactivity was found along this study, thus showing the low
prevalence and scarce risk for the transmission of this disease in
Yucatan.
