Human T-cell Lymphotrophic Virus 1


Hey
I'm Human T-cell Lymphotrophic Virus.
I am also a retrovirus.
I'm so retro!

I transmit through blood, sexual contact and child birth.
I also target CD4 cells.
I make people more likely to get certain diseases.

I can cause leukemia.
I can get into your spinal cord.
There I cause myelopathy or even tropical spastic paraparesis.
I also get into skin, joints, lungs and eyes.

    Hey thanks Mario.

    Pseudomonas is here

    Parasites will be happening after viruses. If you look carefully at the header you might just spot a little giardia there.
