Abstract

A human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) carrier with temporal arteritis (TA) in whom acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) developed 1 year after successful treatment of the autoimmune disease is described. This case suggested that the induction of immunodeficiency by infection with HTLV-I may be related to the development of the autoimmune disease and malignancy.
