 AB    The anti-HTLV-I prevalence was studied by particle agglutination
       technique (PA) in 2,609 samples including: 403 antenatal care women from
       Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, 342 high-risk sexually
       transmitted disease blood donors and 1,864 randomly selected blood
       donors from the Blood Transfusion Centre, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen
       University. All of the 2,609 samples gave negative anti-HTLV-I. The
       result revealed that HTLV-I infection is not common in
       northeast-Thailand. However, as the sample size from this study may be
       too small, further study should be carried out.
