- Abstract
Three patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) born in Nagasaki, which is known to be an ATL endemic area, were examined for adult T-cell leukemia-associated antigen (ATLA), a human retrovirus-associated antigen, and anti-ATLA antibodies. ATLA was demonstrated in cultured peripheral mononuclear cells from two of the patients, and anti-ATLA antibodies were detected in all three cases. A viral etiology of MF in an ATL endemic area is suspected.
