Human T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma virus-associated lymphoreticular neoplasia in Jamaica.

19 (34%) of 56 Jamaicans with lympho-proliferative neoplasia had antibody to the human T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV) in their sera. 17 of those positive had either non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Of 16 consecutive patients presenting with NHL, 11 (69%) were HTLV seropositive. Virus-positive patients with NHL, among whom females were over-represented, had the clinical features and poor survival typical of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. HTLV-associated leukaemia/lymphoma is a distinct clinicopathological entity, and the high incidence in this series suggests that HTLV is an important cause of lymphoreticular neoplasia in Jamaica.

Hepatic ultrastructure in secondary syphilis.

We describe the ultrastructural findings in liver biopsy specimens from 19 patients with secondary syphilis. These patients were unselected, had negative tests for hepatitis B surface antigen, and were not jaundiced. Most hepatocytes appeared normal; a few showed minor nonspecific changes, including some prominence of lipofuscin. Kupffer cell and endothelial cell hyperplasia were noteworthy in some specimens, occasionally forming clusters with mononuclear cells. However, these findings, have no specificity. Although treponemes were seen in Warthin-stained sections by light microscopy in three instances, no organisms were detected in the blocks selected for electron microscopy.
