 AB    In order to evaluate if there is variation on the intensity of cerebral
       spinal fluid (CSF) response during HTLV-I associated tropical spastic
       paraparesis (TSP) evolution we retrospectively reviewed 128 cases. The
       results indicate that although CSF inflammatory alterations can persist
       over a 10-year period, they tend to become slight or even absent after
       the second year of TSP evolution.
