ABSTRACT
The anti-HTLV-I prevalence was studied by particle agglutination technique (PA) in 2,609 samples including 403 antenatal care women from Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, 342 high-risk sexually transmitted disease blood donors and 1,864 randomly selected blood donors from the Blood Transfusion Centre, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University. All of the 2,609 samples gave negative anti-HTLV-I. The result revealed that HTLV-I infection is not common in northeast-Thailand. However, as the sample size from this study may be too small, further study should be carried out.
