Is The Presence Of HTLV Antibodies In Blood Associated With Leukemia?
Question: I donated blood. They sent me a long letter saying I have Human T-cell lymphtropic virus antibody I and II. Do I have leukemia?
Brief Answer:
Hello dear. It doesnot fit in the definition of leukemia
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So merely having antibody to HTLV virus doesnot indicate leukemia. No need to worry. Of course , this infection can lead sometime to development of leukemia but thats uncommon.
You can get a complete blood counts done and be assured that nothing is there.
Please revert back with the blood counts report and relax.
Thanks and regards
