Detection of HTLV‐II‐seropositive Blood Donors in South Vietnam but Not in North Vietnam
1994
Approximately 1% (4/500) of blood donors exhibited seropositivity for HTLV-II in South Vietnam, but none (0/500) did in North Vietnam. Further, all individuals seropositive for HTLV-II were intravenous drug abusers who were seronegative for HIV-1 and HTLV-I. These findings suggest that HTLV-II infection may be specifically prevalent in drug abusers in South Vietnam.
