Abstract

Human  T-celllymphotropic    virus  type  1 (HTL V -1) infection  is endemic  in some parts  of the world,  in which one   of  them   is  in  Khorasan,    Iran.   One   of  the  HTL V -1   involvements    is  ocular.   Known   ophthalmic manifestations   of HTLV -1 include  HTL V -l-associated    uveitis,  corneal  involvement,   malignant   infiltrates  in patients  with  adult  T-cell  leukemia/lymphoma,    retinal  degeneration,   neuro-ophthalmic    disorders,  vasculitis and  exudation   in   -peripheral    retina,  keratoconjunctivitis    sicca  mostly  in patients   with  HTLV -I associated myelopathy/tropical    spastic  paraparesis.   The  spectrum   of  ocular  disease   related   to  HTLV-l    continues   to expand.   Routine    evaluation    of   HTLV-I-infected      patients    is   important    because    immune-mediated     or neoplastic  ocular  involvement   may  occur  during  the disease  course.   In this  article  the ocular  manifestations of the HTL V -1 is reviewed.
