Abstract
We have carried out a seroepidemiological study on the infectious situation of adult T-cell leukemia and strongyloidiasis in Okinawa and in the south-western islands of Japan. The mean titer of adult T-cell leukemia virus-associated antigen (ATLA) antibody of human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) carriers with strongyloidiasis was significantly higher than that of HTLV-1 carriers without strongyloidiasis. This suggests the possibility that strongyloidiasis is also associated with an elevation of the ATLA antibody titer.Keywords
