ABSTRACT
Assessment of antibodies against human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) by enzyme-linked immunoassay, immunofluorescence, and Western blot was undertaken in patients with pathologically or clinically diagnosed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related vacuolar myelopathy to determine whether this retrovirus could be etiologically implicated in this disorder. No serological evidence for HTLV-I was found in the patients with vacuolar myelopathy, though 1 patient with an atypical myelopathy did have antibodies against HTLV-I.
