Journal ArticleDOI
Cytogenetic studies in human T-cell lymphoma virus (HTLV)-positive leukemia-lymphoma in the United States.
Jacqueline Whang-Peng,Paul A. Bunn,Turid Knutsen,C. S. Kao-Shan,Samuel Broder,Elaine S. Jaffe,Edward P. Gelmann,William A. Blattner,Lofters W,R. C. Young +9 more
TL;DR: The characteristic clinical features of these 6 patients were aggressive course, short survival, poor response to chemotherapy, high white blood cell counts, hypercalcemia, and bone lesions, whereas cytogenetically abnormal patients without chromosome 6q deletion tended to have a more indolent course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malignant mesenchymoma and birth defects. Prenatal exposure to phenytoin.
TL;DR: Following combination chemotherapy for metastases, the patient experienced a 7-year disease-free interval, which is consistent with recent improvement in the treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Clearance of Virus after Acute HIV-1 Infection: Correlates of Risk of AIDS
William A. Blattner,Krisann K. Oursler,Farley R. Cleghorn,Manhattan Charurat,Anne M. Sill,Courtenay Bartholomew,Noreen Jack,Thomas R. O'Brien,Jeffrey G. Edwards,Georgia D. Tomaras,Kent J. Weinhold,Michael L. Greenberg +11 more
TL;DR: Among a subset of patients, rapid clearance of plasma HIV-1 after peak viremia is associated with lower viral set point, prolonged virus suppression before loss of virologic control, and decreased risk of AIDS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concordance of Human Leukocyte Antigen Haplotype-Sharing, CD4 Decline and AIDS in Hemophilic Siblings. Multicenter Hemophilia Cohort and Hemophilia Growth and Development Studies
Barbara Kroner,James J. Goedert,William A. Blattner,Susan E. Wilson,Mary Carrington,Dean L. Mann +5 more
TL;DR: Sibling pairs sharing one or two haplotypes were significantly concordant in CD4 decline and AIDS status within 5 years of seroconversion, demonstrating that HIV‐1 disease progression is associated with the genes in the major histocompatibility complex that regulate the host's immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in south-western Colombia.
TL;DR: A hypothesis emerging from this study is that the lower socio‐economic status of lowland residents and associated diseases, particularly untreated syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, may explain the increased HTLV‐I seropositivity rates in this population.
