“…In Argentina, most seroepidemiological studies were performed in the North and central regions, and an HTLV-1 endemic area was discovered in Jujuy, a North Western province. HTLV prevalence in central provinces ranged from 0% to 0.2% (0.028-0.26% HTLV-1; 0.007-0.03% HTLV-2) [281,282,284,285,[287][288][289][290][291][292][294][295][296]384]. In contrast, this incidence is increased up to 9.8% of HTLV-1 in Jujuy [280,292,385,386], and to 31.5% when Jujuy family clusters were studied [387].…”

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) and human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) are lymphomagenic viruses with region-specific induced morbidity. The RIAL-CYTED aims to increase the knowledge of lymphoma in Latin America (LA), and, as such, we systematically analyzed the literature to better understand our risk for virus-induced lymphoma. We observed that high endemicity regions for certain lymphomas, e.g., Mexico and Peru, have a high incidence of EBV-positive lymphomas of T/NK cell origin. Peru also carries the highest frequency of EBV-positive classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and EBV-positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS), than any other LA country. Adult T cell lymphoma is endemic to the North of Brazil and Chile. While only few cases of KSHV-positive lymphomas were found, in spite of the close correlation of Kaposi sarcoma and the prevalence of pathogenic types of KSHV. Both EBV-associated HL and Burkitt lymphoma mainly affect young children, unlike in developed countries, in which adolescents and young adults are the most affected, correlating with an early EBV seroconversion for LA population despite of lack of infectious mononucleosis symptoms. High endemicity of KSHV and HTLV infection was observed among Amerindian populations, with differences between Amazonian and Andean populations.

In a recent publication, G. Schmunis et al presented data from Latin America on blood quality and on important approaches to preventing human immmunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and other infectious diseases that may be transmitted by blood transfusion. Mass screening between 1987 and 1988 in Peru of blood from more than 90,000 donors highlighted potential problems in the donor population, and it also uncovered inappropriate practices related to the use of blood transfusions. Since then, adequate screening of the blood supply for HIV was implemented and new transfusion-related AIDS cases have been prevented during the past 8 years.
