Brief Summary: Doctors of the University of West Indies the Caribbean Epidemiology Center CAREC and the National Cancer Institute have been studying the epidemiology of HTLV-I and its role in the etiology and pathogenesis of adult T-cell leukemialymphoma ALT and aggressive T-cell lymphoma The purpose of the current study is to evaluate familial and genetic aspects of ATL and its relationship to two other HTLV-I related conditions HTLV-I associated myelopathy also known as tropical spastic paraparesis HAMTSP and infective dermatitis Enrollment of infective dermatitis cases was recently added and the disease entity is thought to be a harbinger for later development of either ATL or HAMTSP The purpose of this study is to interview patients with these conditions and perform laboratory studies specifically HLA and other viral or genetic studies to better understand these diseases and their relationship to the HTLV-1 virus and the family history and genetic factors that may be involved as well
