Abstract

Objective: To describe potential HTLV-1 biomarkers for the diagnosis of associated diseases such as ATL and HAM-TSP. Methods: The search was conducted in PubMed Central with articles in English from June 2017 to June 2023, with the descriptors "HTLV-1", "Biomarkers" and "Neuroinflammatory Diseases". After screening titles and abstracts, experimental articles in English that addressed HTLV-1 and laboratory diagnostic biomarkers were selected. Case reports, reviews, commentaries, letters to the editor and out-of-scope articles were excluded. Eligible articles were read in full. Results: Initially 133 articles were found, but only 23 met the inclusion criteria. The main findings included promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of ATL and HAM-TSP, such as CXCL10, neopterin, CHIT1, ANXA1 and genetic polymorphisms of the p75 neurotrophin receptor. Final considerations: This research identified promising biomarkers in HTLV-1 infection and HAM/TSP, such as CXCL10, neopterin, CHIT1, ANXA1 and p75 neurotrophin receptor genetic polymorphisms. However, further studies with larger samples are needed to validate their clinical usefulness in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
