 AB    An association of HTLV-I virus with myelomonocytic leukemia was
       established by serologic and molecular-biologic procedures. Antibodies
       to one or two HTLV-I proteins were identified in 10 out of 30 patients
       with myelomonocytic leukemia; both antibodies to certain HTLV-I proteins
       and an integrated provirus were detected in 3 cases. Upon examination of
       donor blood, antibodies to one or two HTLV-I proteins were found in 0.8%
       cases, but only 0.3% of the examined donors were found positive to
       HTLV-I. This finding points to the presence of said virus in the
       population of Latvia.
