“…Four out of the nine patients who presented bronchiectasis on chest-CT scan reported daily use of wood-burning stoves as the main source of cooking. On the other hand, work-related exposure such as pneumoconiosis and drug-related damage may lead to interstitial lung diseases [ 37 ]. We found that among those with GGO suggesting fibrotic changes on chest-CT scan, one was an active smoker, four has been daily exposed to secondhand smoke but none had been exposed to mines, paint, lead, or industrial smoke.…”

Clinical, Radiological and Functional Characteristics of Pulmonary Diseases among HTLV-1 Infected Patients without Prior Active Tuberculosis Infection

et al. 2021

The lifelong infection with the human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has been associated with a variety of clinical manifestations; one of the less-explored is HTLV-1-associated pulmonary disease. Imaging of lung damage caused by the HTLV-1 hyperinflammatory cascade can be similar to sequelae from TB infection. Our study aims to describe the pulmonary lesions of HTLV-1-positive patients without past or current active TB and evaluate pulmonary function. We found that nine out of fourteen patients with no known TB disease history presented bronchiectasis, mainly found bilaterally while five presented pulmonary fibrosis. A normal pattern was found in most patients with a pulmonary functional test. Furthermore, there was no association between the PVL and the chest-CT scan findings, nor with spirometry results. However, the sample size was insufficient to conclude it.
