HTLV-Ⅰぶどう膜炎の有病率を明らかにするために,1993年8月,熊本県南部のHTLV-L高浸淫地区のT町で集団検診を行い,一般住民の中のぶどう膜炎の数を調べ,その後,同地区近隣の眼科3施設に調査表による調査を行った。検診受診者総数1,343名のうち3名に活動性のぶどう膜炎がみられ,うち1名はHTLV-I抗体陽性で,眼所見からHTLV-Iぶどう膜炎と考えられた。眼科で治療中のHTLV-Iぶどう膜炎の数は,調査票にて2名が推定され,検診例を含め合計3名であった。当時の全人口中の抗体陽性者(キャリア)数は905名と推定され,HTLV-Iぶどう膜炎の有病率はキャリア1,000人中3.3であり,HTLV-Iぶどう膜炎以外のぶどう膜炎の有病率はキャリアが1.1,キャリア以外は0.8であった。
We screened the inhabitants in a town in southern part of Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu for eye diseases. Out of 6,000 residents, 1,343 persons participated in the program. Three cases showed active uveitis, of whom one was seropositive for human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) . Review of charts in three local eye clinics showed two patients with HTLV-I uveitis. There were thus three patients with HTLV-I uveitis in the area. There appeared to be about 905 carriers of HTLV-I in the area, according to the screening data on the rate of seropositivity and the local population statistics. The incidence of HTLV-I uveitis was 3.3 per 1,000 HTLV-I carriers. The estimated rate of uveitis types other than due to HTLV-I was 1.1 per 1,000 HTLV-I carriers and 0.8 per 1,000 noncarriers.
