摘要：

Human T-lymphocytic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriage is associated with a 2% to 5% lifetime risk of developing a severe, if not fatal, disease. In our Inner London antenatal population, we found that the carrier rate was 0.3%. The antenatal transmission rate is known to be very low, but if the infant is breastfed the transmission rate is up to 25%. It is therefore possible to interrupt the transmission cycle by advising against breastfeeding. The ethical and fiscal issues surrounding antenatal testing are addressed.
