ABSTRACT
Of 13 West-Indian-born UK residents with spastic paraparesis of unknown cause, 11 were tested for serum antibody to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 and all were positive. Their magnetic resonance imaging scans were normal or showed only minor abnormalities in the brain, and the spinal cord was normal in the 5 investigated. Of 48 patients with multiple sclerosis, mainly caucasian, none had antibody to HTLV-1 in the blood.(AU)
