We report a 42-year-old Japanese woman with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM)combined with adult T-cell leukemia(ATL).Combination of the 2 diseases has been extremely rare.The infrequency is explained by HLA types unique to each disease.Our patient suggests that the HAM-associated HLA haplotype does not prevent the development of ATL. |
