Article Title: AIDS‐related vacuolar myelopathy is not associated with coinfection by human T‐lymphotropic virus type I
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.
