 AB    The aim of this study was to determine anti HTLV-I antibody titers in
       seropositive symptomatic and asymptomatic infected subjects. One hundred
       seven infected subjects (47 with spastic paraparesis and 60
       asymptomatic) were studied. HTLV-I antibodies were determined using
       indirect immunofluorescence in cells infected with the retrovirus. The
       mean titer was 1/234 in asymptomatic subjects and 1/2138 in symptomatic
       patients (p < 0.001). These results suggest an association between
       HTLV-I antibody titers and clinical stage of infected subjects.
