ABSTRACT

Genetical and archeological similarities in both Japanese and South American populations have been described. These facts along with the recent seroepidemiological studied on retroviruses performed in some of those racial groups, and published up to 1993, allow us to suggest that these retroviruses likely arrived to South America, not only from Africa, but also from The Far East since 6000 years ago or earlier. It could occur following the sea-currents directly.

ABSTRACT

Se revisa la informacion sobre la paraparesia espastica del Pacifico (PEP) y la paraparesia espastica tropical (PET). Dada la alta positividad de anticuerpos contra el virus HTVL-I en pacientes con PEP de Colombia y con PET de Jamaica, Martinica y Japon se considera que el virus HLTV-I seria el agente causal de la enfermedad. Se revisan la epidemiologia y la informacion reciente sobre el virus HTVL-I. Se informan los resultados de un estudio de casos y controles realizado en Tumaco (costa pacifica de Colombia), que indican una relacion causal entre el virus HTVL-I y la PEP. Se hacen algunas consideraciones terapeuticas y se propone el nombre de mieloneuropatia asociada con retrovirus (MAR) a esta entidad clinica de distribucion mundial
