Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is endemic in Japan, the Caribbean and in South American countries such as Ecuador. This virus is the cause of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a myelopathy characterised by chronic progressive paraparesis, spasticity and urinary symptoms. We report the case of a 40-year-old man who received a kidney transplant from a living donor and developed HAM/TSP, 24 months after transplant. The diagnosis was co...

  c antigen is most common in blacks and whites; anti-c would be most common reactive - Answer: Rh antibodies show enhanced reactivity with enzyme pretreated cells. The M and Fya antigens are cleaved from enzyme pretreated cells and therefore there would be no reaction between enzyme pretreated cells and serum containing anti-M or anti-Fya. The incidence of the c antigen is 80% in whites and 96% in blacks. The incidence of the E antigen is 29% in whites and 22% in blacks. Increased reactivit...
