Abstract

The diagnosis of HAM/TSP is based on criteria, as proposed by the World Health Organization, revised in 1989. This primarily relies on diagnosis through laboratory criteria and an extensive list of neurological signs and symptoms. Consequentially HAM/TSP diagnosis is often delayed or not confirmed, especially in countries with limited resources.
