| Περιγραφή: | Introduction: Chronic infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) may result in aggressive adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) in 4-6% carriers. The majority of this risk arises in carriers infected during infancy, and so each infant has ∼25% lifetime risk. Other risk factors include a family history of ATL. Antenatal HTLV-1 screening is not undertaken in the UK. Methods: Here we describe four cases of ATL diagnosed during pregnancy and describe strategies to minimise HTLV-1 transmission to neonates. Results/conclusion: These cases highlight undiagnosed HTLV-1 in pregnancy which allows ongoing mother to child vertical transmission and risk of future ATL. We recommend the UK National Screening Committee incorporate HTLV-1 serology into antenatal screening. |
