  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reported a 35-year-old male patient with acute type adult T cell leukemia (ATL) and human T-lym-photropic virus type I associated myelopathy. He pre-sented meningitis and polyradiculoneuropathy and im-proved with steroid treatment. He presented headache and sensory ataxia and these symptoms responded to steroid treatment. The usual clinical features of NFL were absent at onset. There existed ATL-like cells in the cerebrospinal fluid and HTLV-I proviral DNA in the blood. Therefore, we surmised that there was monoclonal hyperplasia of the infected cells. He pre-sented ATL after 2 years remission.
