About HTLV Type 1&2 Antibody Test: Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus in Chicago Heights
HTLV Type 1&2 Antibody Test: Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) is a retrovirus with two main types, HTLV-I and HTLV-II. Infection is lifelong, and the virus is primarily transmitted through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child via breastfeeding.
The body responds to HTLV infection by producing antibodies against the virus. This test screens for those antibodies and can differentiate between type I and type II, which is important because the two types have different epidemiological patterns and associated health risks.
HTLV-I is linked to adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and a progressive neurological disorder known as HTLV-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). HTLV-II is less clearly associated with disease, though it may affect neurological function in some individuals. Most people infected with HTLV remain asymptomatic carriers.
