 AB    A total of 946 adults belonging to ten population groups of Uttar
       Pradesh and West Bengal were screened for HTLV-I using a gelatin
       particle agglutination test. The percentage of seroreactive cases varied
       from 0 to 5.8 per cent. The overall prevalence of seroreactivity was 2
       per cent. Of the 19 seroreactive cases, 15 were subjected to Western
       blot analysis, none could be confirmed. HTLV-I infection is, therefore,
       absent in these populations.
