Post-transplantation HTLV-1 Myelopathy in Three Recipients From a Single Donor
JNNP 74:1080-1084, Zarranz Imirizaldu,J.J., et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
It is argued that, although in Spain and other European countries there is not compulsory screening for HTLV antibodies because of the studies that show a low seroprevalence, in view of the cases here reported, and to avoid the serious consequences that such infection has on transplanted patients, compulsory screenings, both on organ donors and on blood banks, should be implemented.
