Pak J Med Sci Jan ;23(2):283-6.

HTLV1 is the first retrovirus which is known to infect human. HTLV1 infection has two important manifestations including neurologic and hematologic disorders. We report four cases of HTLV1 polyneuropathy managed between 1999 and 2004 at Imam Reza Hospital Mashad, (north east of Iran). In all the four patients the disease started with paresthesia followed by muscle weakness. All patients had areflexia and most of them suffered from distal hypoesthesia.
