ABSTRACT
HTLV[1] is the first retrovirus which is known to infect human. HTLV[1] infection has two important manifestations including neurologic and hematologic disorders. We report four cases of HTLV[1] polyneuropathy managed between 1999 and 2004 at Imam Reza Hospital Mashad, [north east of Iran]. In all the four patients the disease started with paresthesia followed by muscle weakness. All patients had areflexia and most of them suffered from distal hypoesthesia
