ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A 42 year old man with chronic renal failure and homograft transplantation developed adult T-cell lymphoma in one native kidney. The role of transfusion in the acquisition of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 and its role in the early development of adult T cell lymphoma, particularly on the background of chronic immunosuppression, are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first such case. (AU)
