The HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a neurodegenerative disease of host-HTLV-1 interactions. In many virus-associated diseases and multiple sclerosis, the importance of vitamin-D and lipid profile has been demonstrated, thus similarly, their impacts were evalua...
