About HTLV 1
Abstract
The first description of this disease was made at Universidad del Valle by Wladimir Zaninovic, who received patients referred from the port of Tumaco in Nariño. A few months after the first descriptions, the Spatial Paraparesia of the Pacific or also Tropical, was diagnosed in the University Of Cauca, in patients living in the Municipality of Páez, a distinctly indigenous population and located in a geographic area completely remote from the Pacific coastal zone.Downloads
