Abstract in Portuguese
Introdução: Vírus Linfotrópico de células T Humanas tipo 1 (HTLV-1) é o agente etiológico da leucemia/linfoma de células T do adulto (ATLL), mielopatia associada ao HTLV-1/paraparesia espástica tropical (HAM/TSP), dermatite infectiva associada ao HTLV-1 (DIH) entre outras doenças, sendo que algumas delas podem ocorrer em associação. Sabe-se que a infecção pelo HTLV-1 pode aumentar o risco de desenvolvimento de doenças de pele. Este estudo avaliou a prevalência das doenças cutâneas em infectados pelo HTLV-1 independente do estado clínico e a relação entre a contagem de células T CD4+ e CD8+, carga proviral inicial de HTLV-1 e linfoproliferação em grupo de indivíduos portadores assintomáticos da infecção pelo HTLV-1 ou com HAM/TSP, com ou sem doenças de pele associada. Método: 193 indivíduos infectados pelo HTLV-1 do ambulatório de HTLV no Instituto de Infectologia Emílio Ribas foram avaliados e submetidos à entrevista, exame dermatológico completo e contagens de células T CD4+ e CD8+; carga proviral de HTLV-1 e linfoproliferação (LPA) no sangue periférico. Resultados: Cento e quarenta e sete pacientes mostraram-se com alguma condição anormal da pele, destes, 116 (79%) apresentaram doença dermatológica associada ao HTLV-1 (DD-HTLV-1) (xerose/ictiose, dermatite seborreica ou dermatite infectiva associada ao HTLV-1), e 21% (n=31) tiveram outros diagnósticos dermatológicos. As DD-HTLV-1 mais prevalentes foram: xerose/ictiose adquirida (49%) e dermatite seborreica (27%). Três pacientes apresentaram DIH de início durante a vida adulta associada à HAM/TSP. Os pacientes com DD-HTLV-1 eram mais velhos (51 vs 47 anos), apresentaram maior prevalência de HAM/TSP (p=0.015), maior carga proviral do HTLV-1 (p=0.009) e linfoproliferação basal de três dias aumentada (p=0.008). As contagens de células T CD4+ e CD8+ não mostraram diferença estatística quando comparados os grupos com ou sem DD-HTLV-1. Quando os pacientes com HAM/TSP foram excluídos da análise, a carga proviral do HTLV-1 continuou mostrando diferença significativa (p=0,021), enquanto LPA, contagem de células T CD4+ e CD8+ não mostraram nenhuma diferença. Conclusões: Houve uma alta prevalência de doenças de pele (76%) entre indivíduos infectados pelo HTLV-1, independente do estado clínico. Carga proviral inicial do HTLV-1 e idade foram maiores em indivíduos com DD-HTLV-1, mas LPA apresentou aumento apenas em indivíduos com DD-HTLV-1 e HAM / TSP

Abstract in English
Background: Human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the aetiologic agent of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL), HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), infective dermatitis associated with HTLV-1 (IDH) and various other clinical conditions. Several of these diseases can occur in association. HTLV-1 infection can increase the risk of developing skin disorders. This study evaluated the prevalence of skin diseases among HTLV-1 infected and the relation between HTLV-1 proviral load, lymphocyte proliferation and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells count among HTLV-1 infected individuals, regardless of clinical status, with or without associated skin disorders. Methods: A total of 193 HTLV-1-infected subjects from the HTLV outpatient clinic at the Emilio Ribas Institute were studied. Patients underwent an interview, a complete dermatological examination, a lymphocyte proliferation assay (LPA), an assay for HTLV-1 proviral load and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells count. Results: A total of 147patients had an abnormal skin condition; 116 (79%) of these patients also had skin disorder associated with HTLV-1 infection (SD-HTLV-1) (xerosis/ichthyosis or seborrheic dermatitis), and 21% (n=31) of the patients had other dermatological diagnoses. The most prevalent SD-HTLV-1 was xerosis/acquired ichthyosis (49%), followed by seborrheic dermatitis (27%). Three of them had the association of adult onset IDH and HAM/TSP. The patients with SD-HTLV-1 were older (51 vs. 47 years), had a higher prevalence of myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) (p=0.015), higher HTLV-1 proviral load (p=0.009) and had an increased 3-days basal LPA compared with patients without SD-HTLV-1 (p=0.008). The T CD4+ and CD8+ cells counts did not show significance when compared to SD-HTLV-1 group or individuals without SD-HTLV-1. When HAM/TSP patients were excluded from the analysis, the HTLV-1 proviral load showed a significant difference (p=0.021), while LPA showed no difference, such as T CD4+ and CD8+ cells counts. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of skin disorders (76%) among HTLV-1-infected individuals, regardless of clinical status Initial HTLV-1 proviral load and age was higher in SD-HTLV-1 individuals, but the LPA showed an increase only in SD-HTLV-1 subjects with HAM/TSP
