ABSTRACT
A 63-year-old asymptomatic carrier of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) infection was admitted because of chest oppression, a high-grade fever, polyarthralgia, and erythematous rashes. Laboratory examination revealed lymphocytopenia, proteinuria, and high titers of antinuclear antibodies and antidouble-stranded DNA antibody; thus, she was diagnosed as having systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This case indicates that HTLV-1 infection might be related with the pathogenesis of SLE.
