| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
HTLV-1 is distributed worldwide, and Fujian province is an only area where HTLV-1-positive blood donors were found in China. But information of HTLV-1 in China is limited, and there are few reports about patients with HTLV-1-associated diseases from China. This project is planned to encourage and support HTLV-1 study in Fujian province China, in order to find the patients, find HTLV-1-hot areas, and begin original HTLV-1 researches in China.
We invited Chinese researchers to Japan for training of HTLV-1 study. We also visited regional center hospitals and blood centers in Fujian province and give lectures about HTLV-1 related diseases. As a result, HTLV-1 infection was found to be endemic in the coastal area of Fujian province, especially in northern region, where several ATL patients have been experienced. In addition, one HAM/TSP patient with typical clinical features was confirmed by international diagnostic criteria. HTLV-1 is endemic in the coastal area of Fujian province, China.
