ABSTRACT
Introduction: The HAM/TSP is a chronic endemic mielophaty in several countries related to the retrovirus HTLV-I which
have a clinical criteria and established diagnosis.
Method: We reviewed the ethiology and immunology and based in 45
cases diagnosticated and followed in our neurological service since 1992 to the actual date, we did an evaluation (Osame´s
motor disability scale) and the blood test, LCR, radiologic studies (specially MRI) and neurophysiological exams that helps
the diagnostic, which mean that in our series is similar to the findings for others authors.
Results: We number the possibilities
of treatment and we focused in the necessity of neuroepidemiology studies that will determinate a better prevention and
control of this diseases.
Conclusions: Verified the existence of the HAM/TSP and its relation with the HTLV-1, it is necessary
to make epidemiology studies, mainly in endemic and population areas where occasionally is necessary to use a differential
diagnosis that can become difficult, since myelophaties of other etiologies (particularly multiple sclerosis in its progressive
primary form) can be confused with the HAM/TSP.
