Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) has been recently found to be associated with slowly progressive myelopathy. We have seen 12 patients with HTLV-I associated myelopathy (HAM), three of whom showed retinal vasculitis. In addition two patients had ocular symptoms of vitreous opacity. Retinal vasculitis in these patients appears to be phlebitis and sheathing of retinal veins in the peripheral of the fundus.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
