 AB    Up to October 1994, twenty-four HTLV-I and 113 HTLV-II infected persons
       have been identified in Spain. A third of HTLV-I carriers were
       immigrants coming from endemic regions. In contrast, most
       HTLV-II-infected persons were Spanish native drug users. Four cases of
       HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (TSP) were found, and three patients
       suffered lymphoma (ATL). A former drug user carrying HTLV-II infection
       developed a severe proximal myopathy. Studies performed on more than
       100,000 blood donors allowed the identification of only two persons with
       HTLV-I infection.
