Abstract:

Human T lymphotropic virus (HTLV) is a retrovirus that currently has 3 subtypes, namely HTLV-Ⅰ and HTLV-Ⅱ and HTLV-Ⅲ, HTLV-Ⅰ and adult T cell leukemia(ATL), HTLV-Ⅰ associated myelopathy(HAM) and uveitis on. HTLV-Ⅰ infection can not only cause uveitis, but also may cause a variety of other ocular symptoms. At present, most scholars believe that HTLV-Ⅰ infection induced uveitis (HAU) is due to the infection of HTLV-Ⅰ T lymphocytes in vivo, leading to cytokine infection gathered in the eye, causing inflammation of the eye. In this paper, the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatment methods and the relationship between HAU and other diseases are reviewed.

Key words: Human T lymphocytic leukemia virus type Ⅰ, Uveitis, Fundamental research
